Subject: SUMMER FIELD POSITIONS FOR GRASSLAND BIRD STUDIES (several)
SEVERAL SUMMER FIELD POSITIONS (GRASSLAND BIRD STUDIES): In the near
future, we anticipate several temporary positions to open up at Northern
Prairie Wildlife Research Center for spring/summer field work in 2003.
Approximately nine (9) field assistants and five (5) crew leaders are
needed for grassland bird studies in the Midwest and the northern Great
Plains (including North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, and
Iowa). Starting and ending dates vary with each study; typically the
positions begin in late April to mid-May and end in mid-July to late
August. Field work will involve surveying breeding bird populations
(including songbirds, waterfowl, shorebirds, and other birds) in
grasslands and associated wetlands using established monitoring protocols.
Persons with grassland and wetland bird experience and familiarity with
Midwest and Great Plains flora are especially encouraged to apply.
Qualified applicants should be able to identify birds that breed in the
Great Plains by sight and sound, be familiar with survey and monitoring
techniques, and possess good auditory and visual acuity. Applicants must
be in excellent physical condition, and possess good communication and
organizational skills. The ability to work both independently and with
others is essential. For some positions, GIS experience would be useful
but is not essential. Crew leaders will supervise, organize, and
coordinate the activities of field crews, including training technician(s)
in the correct use of field forms and techniques, organizing field
equipment, confirming quality and accuracy of data, and alerting project
leaders to procedural, technical, and logistical problems. Salary,
depending on qualifications, will be about $11.84 per hour for crew members
and about $14.66 per hour for crew leaders, plus
a cost of living increase (expected to be about 3.1%). If you would like
to be notified of these openings, please send a copy of your resume as
soon as possible to:
Douglas H. Johnson
U.S. Geological Survey
Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
8711 37th Street SE
Jamestown, ND 58401
e-mail: Douglas_H_Johnson@usgs.gov
In your resume, please note experience relevant to the job description,
stating specifically where this experience was gained and the amount of
time spent on these activities. Include the names, phone numbers, and
e-mail addresses of at least three references.
