Birds, Ecology, and Conservation at the University of Utah
Multiple positions
Contact: Kyle Kittelberger
At least two months, on average about 6 hours per week. (More positions with more flexible scheduling available during the school year.)
Kyle Kittelberger is studying the migration and movement of birds both here in Utah and in Turkey, focusing on how these movements are changing over time and what factors are impacting migrating birds. To do this, he bands birds in the field and collects information such as weight, measurements, and age. As a result, there is a lot of bird banding data that need to be proofed and checked for any errors, as this data will be used in analyses that will result in future published scientific papers. He accepts interns year-round to help him with this data proofing; additionally, when spring arrives, interns can help Kyle band birds in the field in Red Butte Canyon.
This position is best suited for someone who is interested in wildlife biology and conservation.
