Technicians will participate in a wide range of research-related activities at the Yawkey Wildlife Center off the coast of Georgetown, South Carolina.
Technicians will be expected to assist with trapping coyotes and raccoons, perform radiotelemtry, analyze scat for diet content, enter data, monitor loggerhead turtle nests, and conduct scat transect surveys. A typical work week will include 20-30 hours of work, either in the field or in the lab.

For those of you wondering how you could include more hands-on field skills on your resume or recommend an outstanding, field-oriented course to a student you know, there are openings in our course.

High School AP biology students in need of tutoring.  Please see Dr. Fuller, or email me.
