We are seeking a highly motivated field assistant for the upcoming field season (mid July - end September 2025) to help with a project that aims at investigating how genetic variation in disease susceptibility is maintained in natural population, using the bank vole (Myodes glareolus) as a model. The field assistant will help with trapping voles, sample and data collection, field equipment maintenance, animal husbandry, and data management. The field work is carried out at a beautiful field site in Skåne, southern Sweden. The ideal candidate has a can-do attitude, is highly organized, pays attention to detail, and has excellent interpersonal, teamwork and communication skills (incl. the ability to work and live with a small team). The work is physically demanding (incl. carrying traps, lots of walking through forests) and involves long days. Previous fieldwork experience and a driving license are a plus. We can offer the opportunity to gain extensive field work experience and insights into a research project on the evolutionary ecology of wildlife health and disease, and to spend time in beautiful Skåne. The salary is 680 / week, for a 10 week period. Travel to and accommodation in Sweden are provided. Right to work in the UK is required. The successful candidate will have to complete an online animal experimentation course before the start of the project. Applications should include a motivation letter (1 page), a CV (which details relevant experience), and contact information of two references. Send the above as a single PDF to: b.tschirren@exeter.ac.uk by May 1st 2025.
