RESEARCHERS

From researchers we would appreciate a c.v. and a list of project interests.

We are aware that it is almost impossible for overseas students to pick a project suitable for the wet tropics unless they have some advice or actual experience. However, Station staff can assist in this and there are some projects that students can contribute to. The one important thing to realize about this region, is that almost nothing has been studied in any depth, and the list of possible projects is endless.

Students with particular interests who can gain external funding for their specific projects are welcome to apply, provided the Station facilities can cater for their needs. Please direct your inquiries to the Director.

Because of the constraints imposed by the Queensland and Australian National Parks and Wildlife Departments, projects requiring direct animal experimentation and manipulation cannot be supported (unless they are linked to current research activities of the Station).

Prospective Researchers

Prospective researchers should outline their research programs (and their level of financial support) in sufficient detail to allow the Station to assess them for their suitability for the facilities available and for the area. If they are not considered suitable, then we will suggest modifications or suggest an alternative venue. They should also outline their needs for National Parks and other permits, the Station Director may be able to assist in getting them. Researchers, especially long-term ones, are requested to contribute labour towards the station's operation where needed.
