Employer: The Institute for Bird Populations Country: United States Last Date to Apply: No value
Responsibilities Spend your summer doing field work in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. We are looking for field technicians to conduct surveys for Spotted Owls on the Humboldt-Toiyabe, Stanislaus, and Tahoe National Forests. Project dates start early April through mid May and run through mid August. Duties include:
Conduct occupancy surveys on National Forest land; surveys will occur at night and during early mornings.
Hiking in rugged terrain, long drives, and occasional car camping.
Data entry, maintenance of equipment and vehicles, and attending regular meetings.
Possible location-based duties vary by forest (Truckee, CA; Mi-Wuk Village, CA; Camptonville or Grass Valley, CA).
Humboldt-Toiyabe crew may deploy and maintain autonomous recording units (ARUs); Humboldt-Toiyabe crew may also conduct Flammulated Owl occupancy surveys.
Requirements Primary requirements include a love of nature, enthusiasm about the outdoors, patience, observation skills, interpersonal skills, and a desire to learn more about the flora and fauna of the Sierra Nevada. A willingness to face the rigors of fieldwork with good humor is essential. Rigors include physically demanding work (long hikes in steep terrain), navigating off-trail, varying weather, mosquitoes, poison oak, occasional bear encounters, and housing that may be rustic or crowded. Prior hiking and outdoors experience are preferred.
Equipment Field technicians are expected to provide their own binoculars, hiking boots, and camping gear for car camping (tent, sleeping bag, raingear, etc.). Because crews may live in remote areas, a personal vehicle is highly desirable but not required for completing work duties.
Compensation These full-time (40 hrs/week) IBP seasonal staff positions pay $18/hr (before payroll taxes) and do not include fringe benefits. Free shared housing will be provided.

Your submission should include ranked position preferences, resume, cover letter, and the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of up to three references. Professional references are preferred, but one reference may be a character reference. References are often slow to reply, so submitting more references ensures quicker processing.
