M. SC. THESIS POSITION (DILPOMARBEIT) AT THE KONRAD LORENZ
RESEARCH STATION IN GRUENAU/AUSTRIA
Applications are invited for a stipend-supported master project
(Diplomarbeit) working on COSTS OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR IN INDIVIDUAL GREYLAG
GEESE. The successful candidate will be trained in: heart rate telemetry,
non-invasive analysis of hormones, and behavioural observation. The main
focus of the project will be to draw up time-budgets of free-ranging,
semi-tame greylag geese, which are implanted with heart rate transmitters,
to determine metabolic costs of social behaviour. The study will be
conducted mainly at the KLF with some time devoted to hormonal analyses in
Vienna. The KLF is essentially a field station with excellent possibilities
for collecting and processing ethological data. Equipment includes digital
video cameras plus analysis software (e.g. Noldus Video Pro, Observer,
Theme) and computers with the necessary software. The location of the
institute is remote. The stipend includes housing at the KLF as well as
approximately € 440,--/per month for the usual duration of six months,
which may be extended to a maximum of one year, if necessary.
Requirements: Applicants should demonstrate an excellent ability to perform
fieldwork even under harsh conditions, be flexible and creative. They
should have excellent communication skills, and should enjoy working in a
team. Knowledge and experience in behavioural biology, including
physiology/ endocrinology, are a plus.
The position will commence as soon as the position is filled, and
applications are accepted until then. To apply, please send a CV, a letter
describing your research background and interests, and the reason you are
interested in the position. Short-listed applicants are asked to
participate in a three weeks practical course at the KLF before a final
decision is made. Applications by email are encouraged. Please send
applications to:
