Can I trade in my family and two of the dogs to get this position? I promise I will bring beverages!

Seriously though, if you are in a position to do so, apply for this invaluable work experience...and get paid to chase critters!

This is tempting me to put off my last semester to next spring.....

Chances are slim but I'll have to talk to my advisor, see what the plan would be like for me.

Oh Wow! This seems like a wonderful prospect to learn more about such wonderful creatures. I don't think that I am even remotely qualified for the position but I'll be sure to fill out an application. I would love to be a part of a herpetofaunal survey.

WOW! I am so excited to apply! That would be really awesome!.

Tim is currently conducting interviews, as our current intern quit last week (leaving me to do all the work myself!). So apply now if you're going to.

Thanks Kaysie! I applied yesterday.
