The U.S. Geological Survey has a position open for a Data Management
Specialist in our Klamath Falls, Oregon fisheries research office. The
employee will be an integral part of our team, working closely with
field staff, research scientists, and a database/software developer.
Primary responsibilities will include QA/QC of field data; integration
of field data into established databases; design and maintenance of
databases and database access software; design and testing of data entry
software for mobile devices; and assisting research staff with data
queries and summaries. Competitive applicants will be detail-oriented
and have experience working with large relational databases using SQL.
Familiarity with coding in Python, the R software environment, and/or
JavaScript are preferred. The Klamath Falls Field Station emphasizes
work on the population dynamics of two endangered lake suckers in the
Upper Klamath River Basin. Passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags are
important to most projects, particularly through detections on remote
antennas. Databases currently contain millions of encounter records
reaching back nearly two decades.
More details about the position and instructions on how to apply are
posted on USAJobs; applications will be accepted through October 1, 2018:
