Volunteer, gestural communication in wild chimpanzees
Hiring Organization:
University of Stirling
Date Posted:
2009-02-03
Position Description:
I am looking for a volunteer to work on a study of gestural communication in wild East African chimpanzees. The volunteer will code an aspect of gestural communication from video footage and enter the data into Excel spreadsheet.
Students with undergraduate qualifications in psychology, biology, zoology, anthropology or a related discipline are encouraged to apply. I am based in Oxford, thus residency in Oxford or Oxford area is a plus.
This is an opportunity for an undergraduate student who would like to proceed towards a graduate degree in primatology or related areas to gain experience in video analyses of primate behaviour.
I am looking for someone to start the work as soon as possible (ideally in February 2009). The work will take up to 4 weeks full time, and I am looking forward to working with someone who would be able to devote 4 weeks to this project across February and March.
Please email me your CV and email addresses of three referees if you are interested in this work.
