Since I have completed my field research at Hastings, I am no longer hiring field assistants for the western bluebird project. Please contact Çağlar Akçay (ca262 AT cornell DOT edu), the postdoc currently running the western bluebird field crew, if you wish to join the bluebird project at Hastings.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill undergraduates who wish to assist with my postdoctoral research should contact me at castern AT live DOT unc DOT edu or stop by my office in 232 Wilson Hall.
