LIVE ON AN ISLAND, STUDY BIRDS

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, a British wildlife group, is looking to hire a person willing to spend 13 months on a remote island to study its bird population. They’re looking for a new field officer on Gough Island, a British territory approximately 1,500 miles from Africa in the South Atlantic Ocean. The island has a relatively undisturbed ecosystem, and serves as a haven for nesting seabirds in the South Atlantic. It can only be reached by boat. There is internet. The position pays around £27,000 ($33,750) and requires a science degree or equivalent field experience, as well as a willingness to work “frequent long hours” tracking birds. There are 7 other people on the island.
* Well… four after “the incident.”
* There’s internet, so there is tweeting. A LOT of tweeting, even without the internet.
* You might want to bring a Wilson brand volleyball.
* Here’s an idea: how ’bout the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds protect some birds that British people can actually see every day.
* They’re not telling you that the job is mostly cleaning bird poop off the facilities.
* So – whaddaya think? Are you guano apply?
