The US Fish and Wildlife Service’s Gulf Restoration Office<https://www.fws.gov/program/deepwater-horizon-gulf-restoration> is comprised of an interdisciplinary team of professionals who focus on Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration in the Southeast. Employees routinely collaborate with other Department of the Interior bureaus, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service programs, Federal and State agencies, and other partners to advance science-based restoration of the Gulf of Mexico and beyond through thoughtful planning, design, implementation, and monitoring and adaptive management. We are currently recruiting for a Fish and Wildlife Biologist (GS-0401-11/12) to serve as the Avian Resource Coordinator, a critical addition to the GRO’s Science Team. This position works as part of the Science Team to support the connections between our restoration projects and our injured DOI federal trust resources, including the 93 species of birds. The goals of the Science Team are to 1) apply most appropriate science and monitoring by developing, maintaining, and communicating resources for best science practices; 2) define and implement how we evaluate and communicate success at the project and case-wide levels; and 3) evaluate and communicate progress we have made in restoring for the injury to our Trust resources and identify where more could be done. Following the office’s intentional culture, we all have customer-service mindsets focused on successful team building, collaboration, and problem-solving that can perform as a complementary, multi-disciplinary team.
