Get paid to bird in Wake county! (or Georgia)



Hi Carolinabirders,

The first job announcement below appears to have been circulating around
the local biology departments. I'd apply myself, but it starts April 1, a
full month before we're done with the semester's TAing, and I doubt that
the hirer's definition of "full time" includes "except when the Duke
Ecology course has something going on"...

I found the second announcement on the archive of the Ornithology listserv
on Jack Siler's website:
http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/ORNL.html#1013532562
It's a little further from home, in the Georgia piedmont.

Good birding,

Josh
