Denali National Park seeks volunteers

The Denali National Park Social Science program is seeking two highly motivated individuals to fill two volunteer positions for the summer 2010 season. The position would involve working with park staff and University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers on current conservation social science projects within the park. This is an excellent opportunity for recent high school graduates or current college undergraduates who are ambitious and are potentially interested in a career in social science within protected areas or in general.

Volunteers will receive a stipend of $10 per day; housing may be provided. The candidates must have excellent communication skills and be detail-oriented. They should be able to work semi-independently collecting data based upon an established set of protocols. The position is from June 1 to Sept. 1. Applications are due by April 15. Contact Andrew Ackerman at 907-683-6243 for more information.
