Salamander Field Assistants Sought

I'm posting this from the Center for North American Herpetology list:

SALAMANDER FIELD ASSISTANTS SOUGHT

I am looking for volunteer field assistants for a project on Long-toed Salamanders
(Ambystoma macrodactylum) in the Pacific Northwest. The field season will start as early
as mid-January 2008 and run until the end of August 2008. Field assistants will help
locate and catch salamanders, take notes and help with various procedures.

Benefits:

1) Learn about amphibians and get experience in the field
2) Great for outdoors enthusiasts as there is lots of hiking, camping, etc. involved
3) A way to see some neat places in the Western United States and Canada
4) Expenses paid
5) Opportunities for credit and/or an independent project can be discussed

Requirements:

1) US or Canadian citizenship (or Visa to work/study in either country)
2) At least one month time commitment
