JOB POSTING - BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE TECHNICIANS
We are seeking 1 or 2 highly motivated ornithologists to participate in a large-scale experimental study that investigates how avian communities respond to juniper-pinyon pine invasions. Primary study sites are replicated in isolated but scenic areas of Utah, Nevada, and Idaho. (Additional avian census sampling occurs in northeastern CA and eastern Oregon). Focal species include gray flycatcher, dusky flycatcher, sage thrasher, sage sparrow, vesper sparrow, brewers sparrow, black-throated sparrow, and green-tailed towhee. Sampling protocol consists of point counts, territory mapping, behavioral observation, nest searching, target- netting and color-banding, and also vegetation sampling. Preference will be given to energetic, detail-oriented candidates with experience in songbird point-count surveys, nest-searching, territory mapping and mist- netting. GIS experience is also desirable for navigation and site selection purposes. This is a physically demanding job, involving hiking and camping in rugged terrain for 8 to 10 days and long extended hours during some periods of this research. Remote field conditions include exposure to wind, dust, heat, cold, and intense sun at elevations exceeding 5,000 feet.
