[BERG] Exciting opportunity to gain research experience!

[Pawel Fedurek]

Dear BERGers,

Some of you might be interested: Sarah Kraemer, our PhD student investigating learning strategies in capuchin monkeys, is looking for volunteers. This is a great opportunity to gain some research experience working on a super-interesting project! Details below:

..................................................................................................

Calling all students interested in animal behaviour and social learning!



I am recruiting multiple volunteer students for assistance in 2 tasks for my PhD project that examines social biases in tufted capuchins. Students may reach out with availability to help in one or both tasks:

  1.  Coding videos of capuchins performing a binary-choice task (specifically recording their choices), to measure inter-rater reliability: short-term, roughly 4-6 weeks from mid-May through June
  2.  Assisting me in my task of using BORIS software to analyse capuchin videos: long-term, estimated 4-5 months
  3.

Both efforts will require pre-training, to be carried out between mid-to-end of May (foreseeably longer for the long-term endeavor). Both will involve one meeting/work period with me per week, and a few hours of work on the student's own time per week, but will not add up to a part- or full-time job.

This is a great opportunity to be involved in animal behaviour research and gain experience for your own future projects!

If interested, e-mail me at s.b.kraemer at stir.ac.uk<mailto:s.b.kraemer at stir.ac.uk>.

Capu-cheers!
-Sarah
