It is widely\naccepted that the underlying cause of population declines is the loss and\nfragmentation of suitable habitats. More recently however, net breeding\nproductivity at key breeding wader sites is understood to be undermining the\npotential of recovery to the extent that it cannot compensate for adult\nmortality in the longer-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Job Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Irish\nGrey Partridge Conservation Trust is looking to recruit a seasonal Research\nAssistant to carry out a radio-tracking study examining the cause(s) of wader chick\nmortality. The areas chosen are breeding wader sites in County Galway and\nCounty Mayo. The research will be carried out for an estimated 6-8 weeks. This\nvacancy requires a certain amount of flexibility and a determination to learn\nhands-on how research works in the field. Ideally the person applying should\nhave excellent report writing, competent in the use of the latest mapping tools\nand statistical analysis. The successful candidate will receive training in the\nmethodologies of radio-tracking by experienced research scientists\n\nThis is an excellent\nopportunity for a post-graduate or undergraduate student to gain valuable research\nexperience using the latest radio-tracking technology. It is the only radio-tracking\nstudy of this nature in Ireland.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How To Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Please send your CV to <a href=\"mailto:info@irishgreypartridge.com\">info@irishgreypartridge.com<\/a> or alternatively call +353-87-2721981<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dublinzoo.ie\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"52\" class=\"wp-image-1716\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.irishgreypartridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DublinzooLogo.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greypartridge.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DublinzooLogo.png 325w, https:\/\/www.greypartridge.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DublinzooLogo-300x104.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dublinzoo.ie\">This research is made possible by the support of Dublin Zoo<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dublinzoo.ie\">.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background: Nearly all breeding waders in Ireland are species of conservation concern.
