FIELD TECHNICIANS (3) Three field technicians are needed to assist in a study of red‐cockaded woodpecker (RCW) home
ranges as they relate to neighboring group density and foraging habitat characteristics. The study will be conducted at 2
or 3 locations in the southeastern USA (NC, SC, and GA). The Savannah River Site, a National Environmental Research
Park, located near Aiken, SC, will be one field site; remaining sites are TBD.
Primary duties of technicians will include conducting all‐day follows of RCW groups, collection of vegetation data, and data entry. Work schedule will be
5 days/week, but weekend work may be necessary from time to time. Salary will be $1,800–$2,000/month and employment could extend for up to 24 months.
Housing will be provided.
Qualifications: Looking for hard‐working, independent, and enthusiastic individuals with interest in avian ecology. Applicants minimally should possess a Bachelor’s degree in biology, wildlife ecology, or related field.
Previous experience conducting avian surveys, excellent communication skills, meticulous data collection, strong work ethic, and a positive attitude are required. Preference will be given to those who have experience working with the RCW or resighting color‐banded birds, and to individuals able to make a long‐term commitment to the project. Applicants must be able to work independently and interact positively (often remotely) with a collaborative research team. Applicants should be in good physical condition and enjoy working outdoors ‐ the ability to hike and work long hours in adverse conditions (must be willing to work long hours in hot and humid field conditions) and in remote field sites is a must. Other desirable skills include: proficiency with GPS units, maps, compass, and MS Office (Access, Excel, Word). Selected applicants will be subject to a criminal background check. Must have or be willing to acquire a valid driver’s license before the start date of the project. Must be U.S. citizen.
Last date to apply: None. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until qualified applicants are found
Start date: March 2013, specific dates somewhat flexible.
