The main purpose of this post is to conduct an agreed programme of monitoring of breeding bird populations at RSPB's Geltsdale reserve, along with indices of predator and small mammal abundance and vegetation assessments. Within this remit, the research assistant will, where appropriate, assist in defining study plots, liaise closely with relevant reserve staff, prepare appropriate field maps, establish a daily work programme which will ensure that the data are collected effectively, and carry out the specified programme of data collection. All the data should be correctly recorded on the appropriate forms and maps, and all original field maps and completed data recording forms returned to supervisor in agreed format with appropriate explanatory notes.
Work is likely to require long and unsociable hours in the field, whenever weather conditions are suitable. The research assistant will be based at RSPB's Geltsdale reserve, northern England. Throughout the field season the research assistant will work with limited direct supervision. Frequent travel by car will be required to visit study plots.
