To all who are interested,

I am looking for a field assistant in Israel. I will need the person 
from the third week in July to the end of August. I can offer housing 
and board but I can NOT pay for airfare to Israel (It appears that 
tickets are approx. $600 through discount brokerages). I may be able to 
afford a small salary i.e. $50-60 /week (sorry it is so small but I am 
only a PhD student and I only received a small grant).

Work will consist of helping me in setting up field sites and censusing 
isopods (pillbugs). The sites will be in the Negev desert so be 
prepared for VERY hot weather. We will be putting in long days and the 
hiking may be strenuous at times. At least five days of work will be 
expected. Depending on religous prefernces I can be flexible about 
which days are off (nothing runs on sat. in Israel). I know this 
doesn't sound very fun but it would be a good opportunity to get field 
experience and some experience using electronic surveying equipment and 
perhaps some GIS work (and you get room and board in Israel with the 
opportunity to explore on weekends. We will be relatively close to 
everything you might want to see, Israel is a small country).

If you have any questions feel free to contact me through e-mail (it is 
the easiest and quickest method to get in touch with me). I can be 
flexible on the start date but the ending date is pretty firm. I hope 
to hear from someone soon. (I am a fun guy and can provide many hours 
of interesting conversation in the field, so that should be reason 
enough to want to help me out, right?) Thanks for your interest and 
sorry about the cross-posting.

Sincerely,
