The Anchorage Fish & Wildlife Field Office consists of a 25 member staff in five program areas: Endangered Species, Environmental Contaminants, Conservation Planning Assistance, Fisheries, and Habitat Restoration. The incumbent will serve in the Habitat Restoration Branch as Branch Chief for our Partners for Fish and Wildlife, Coastal, Fish Passage and National Fish Habitat Action Plan Programs, teaming with our three other habitat restoration staff to work in all facets of habitat restoration, protection, assessment, and outreach in Southcentral Alaska.
Habitat Restoration staff work with private landowners, local, state, and tribal government, and non-governmental organizations to restore and protect important fish and wildlife resources for the benefit of the American people. Working with diverse interest groups, the incumbent must have strong interpersonal and technical skills to collaboratively resolve natural resource use conflicts.
The position is located in Alaska’s largest city (population 292,000) but is only 20 minutes from the wilderness. Groomed cross-country ski trails are a short walk from the office. World class outdoor recreation opportunities are just a short drive away. The wilderness at our back door is the Chugach State Park. The Chugach National Forest is less than an hour away. City residents enjoy over 400 km of local trails, and over 100 km of groomed cross-country ski trails, many lit for night skiing. We have a small local downhill ski area right in Anchorage, while forty miles to the south is the world class Alyeska ski resort. We boast 16 National Wildlife Refuges totaling 77 million acres, as well as magnificent National Parks and the nation’s two largest National Forests.
Please distribute this announcement to all who may be interested. The application period is open until August 23, 2011 and the position is open to all federal employees.
