The particular aims are to estimate the numbers of kangaroos, rate of population increase, social structure and movements within the area. The student will work closely with the Catchment Authority and the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service staff. The qualifications needed are either BSc (Hons) or BvetSci, or an appropriate Masters in wildlife or environmental management. The stipend is AUD$20,000 per annum.
