Subject: [SEABIRD] Summer Internship Opportunity


> The Ocean Biogeographic Information System - Spatial Ecological Analysis
of Megavertebrate Populations (OBIS-SEAMAP) project seeks a research intern
for the summer of 2003. The OBIS-SEAMAP project
(http://obismap.env.duke.edu) is archiving geo-referenced information on the
distribution of marine mammals, seabirds, and sea turtles into an online
database intended for use by conservation planners, policy-makers,
researchers, students, educators and the general public.

> The intern will assist with compiling datasets into the OBIS-SEAMAP
database, and will write species profiles for sea turtles and seabirds for
posting to the web. This will involve research on identification, habitat,
behavior, and prey of various seabirds and sea turtles. The intern may also
assist with data entry and editing.

> We are looking for a self-motivated, organized person comfortable with the
internet and Microsoft Excel who has an interest in marine ecology.
Desirable, but not necessary, experience includes field data collection on
marine animals, database management (especially Microsoft Access), web page
design, and use of geographical information systems. Guidance and training
will be provided by staff and faculty on the project.

> The starting date will be 02 June, 2003 and the intern will be expected to
work until the end of August. The internship will be based at the Duke
University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, North Carolina
(http://www.env.duke.edu/marinelab/). A stipend will be available. To
apply, send a cover letter and resume to Sloan Freeman (ska2 at duke.edu)
before 09 May, 2003.
