Research and Science Communication Assistant
A hybrid position for a student interested in wildlife research, research data management, fieldwork, and visual science communication.
The OTTER Lab is seeking a reliable, curious student to help move wildlife research from field
photographs to usable data - and to help tell the story of that work through strong visual
content.
Research and data management
Assist with transferring, organizing, and entering wildlife data from photographs maintained in Adobe
Lightroom into Wildlife Insights. This work requires careful attention to detail, consistency, accuracy, and the ability to work independently once trained.
Science communication and field content
Join select research and laboratory field excursions to document the work we do through photography and short-form video. The student will help create engaging visual content that communicates field research, student experiences, wildlife, and the scientific process for web and social-media use.
What the student will gain
- Wildlife research
- Field experience
- Digital media
- Science communication
- Professional skills
Because some content will be created during field excursions, occasional availability outside standard work
hours may be necessary.
Wage rate: $16.80/hr
QualificationsWho would be a good fit?
The ideal student is reliable, organized, attentive to detail, and interested in wildlife research and science communication. Experience with social media, photography, videography, Adobe Lightroom, or photo/video editing is particularly valuable, but expertise in all of these areas is not required. A strong willingness to learn is.
Students from Psychology, Biology, Environmental Science, Media Arts, Communications, Marketing, or related areas are encouraged to apply.
