Part-time Frog Research Assistant

2 weeks ago

University Park, United States Penn State University Full time

**JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS**:
Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot, home to over 400 species of frogs. Like many tropical regions, Madagascar’s mid-high elevation rainforest is climatically favorable to Bd (Lötters et al. 2008). Bd has spread rapidly around the world, so it is likely only a matter of time before a lethal strain of the pathogen reaches Madagascar. The over-arching goal of this research is to proactively develop disease mitigation strategies, such as skin probiotics, for amphibian conservation. To accomplish this, we have established a colony of Madagascar frogs, representing 14 species. Currently, we are working to develop effective ways to captively-breed selected species, maintain tadpoles and produce viable froglets. By producing additional individuals, we can conduct experimental work to identify effective probiotic therapies for Madagascar frogs. In addition, we are interested in observing and record breeding behaviors for these under-studied species.

Job duties may include:

- Participate in amphibian research projects
- Design and set up breeding plans for frogs
- Maintenance of amphibian housing
- Recording breeding behavior
- Contribute to daily amphibian care and health monitoring

The Pennsylvania State University is committed to and accountable for advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability in all of its forms. We embrace individual uniqueness, foster a culture of inclusion that supports both broad and specific diversity initiatives, leverage the educational and institutional benefits of diversity in society and nature, and engage all individuals to help them thrive. We value inclusion as a core strength and an essential element of our public service mission.

**CAMPUS SECURITY CRIME STATISTICS**:
Pursuant to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and the Pennsylvania Act of 1988, Penn State publishes a combined Annual Security and Annual Fire Safety Report (ASR). The ASR includes crime statistics and institutional policies concerning campus security, such as those concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters. The ASR is available for review here.

Employment with the University will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies.
