The project is a four-year study of mosquitoes and environmental hazards and amenities in five west Baltimore neighborhoods. I need a GA to help with a variety of duties related to the project: recruiting community participants for activities such as citizen-science, participatory mapping, and the like; maintaining relationships with participants by attending meetings; helping with logistics for community events and activities; and, mostly next summer, there is a possibility of helping with sampling mosquitoes (training provided on the job -- it's very easy to learn the techniques). There will be some variation in work load from week to week, but the time commitment will average out to approximately 10 hours/week. I would like the person to start as soon as possible, and it would continue through the end of next summer with a strong possibility for renewal.

Students should contact me at dbiehler@umbc.edu if they would like further details.
