Position Description: We are looking for someone with montane forestry
experience to assist in a project doing terrestrial laser scanning ("TLS")
of Plumas National Forest and the Lake Tahoe Basin during the period of mid
August to mid/late October. The goal of the project is the remeasure plots
that were scanned in the Spring, as well as support a project estimating
surface fuels from the TLS. Most of the work will be in assisting the TLS
and fuels teams, and requires moving relatively bulky equipment into forest
plots, so ability to carry > 50 lbs is suggested (backpacking experience is
ideal). Folks working on this project will get trained in how to setup and
use a terrestrial laser scanner (a relatively rare opportunity), as well as
learn forest fuels measurements. The project is in collaboration and
funded by the USDA Forest Service. Technicians will be based out of Reno
for Tahoe work or doing overnights in Plumas National Forest. Position
covers lodging and per diem while in the field. Applicants should email
Jonathan Greenberg with a short introductory letter and an up-to-date
resume/CV to jgreenb...@unr.edu.
