Assistants & Interns

          The túngara project is conducted each summer at facilities of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Gamboa, Panama (to see a brief description of Gamboa facilities click click Facilities on bar above).  Each summer we hire interns through an Internship program at STRI. 

           To get an idea of a typical night of work on the tungara frog project, read A Night of Frogging

           We usually directly hire an additional assistant from the same pool, who is paid by our research funds.  Thus for anyone interested in working on the túngara project in summer 2008 we urge them to apply to STRI directly for an Internship with Dr. Ryan on this project. You must apply by 15 November, 2007, and you can do so through: http://www.stri.org/english/education_fellowships/internships/index.php. Decisions should be made by early January.

 You should also send copies of all application materials and a brief note to Dr Ryan (mryan@mail.utexas.edu).
