Just one correction on the position. It doesn't require a Bachelor's Degree. The position was reclassified after I sent the original announcement. Only a High School diploma is required, with college courses in Wildlife Biology or related field preferred. If you know of anyone interested, please have them contact me as early as possible so that I can get them the application materials. This would be a great opportunity for anyone to study in depth a species (White-headed Woodpecker) that we know very little about in terms of its breeding ecology and to get be able to watch them up close and personal.

In addition, although I am flattered, I do not have my doctorate. :-)

Thanks.
