Greetings all -

We've a couple new projects and are looking for a bunch of good folks.
Should be fun.

Please feel free to distribute widely, I'll be posting this soon to
Ornjobs, ECOLOG-L, Texas A&M, Conbio, Ecology, and the Distance sampling
and MARK listservs as well...

WILDLIFE FIELD CREW LEADERS (2) AND TECHNICIANS (10) needed for two new
long-term wildlife monitoring projects in Utah: Looking for all levels
of experience.  Applicants please note to which project you are
applying.
   (1)   This is first year of an annual, recurring wildlife monitoring
   program, gauging success of the WRI (see
   http://wildlife.utah.gov/watersheds/index.php for background).  These
   positions will monitor game and non-game species alike, have a 6-mo
   field season (Mar-Aug), and a statewide focus (read: mobile crew).
   Contingent upon funding, the crew leader position will be a 12-mo,
FT,
   benefitted state position.  Field work will be a combination of game
and
   non-game monitoring techniques including bird surveys, small mammal
   trapping, pellet counts, track plates, and (potentially) telemetry.
   Field crew start date: March 15; end date: Aug 30.  Crew leader will
be
   hired ASAP.
   (2)   2009 is the first year of a 3-yr bird monitoring project,
   assessing the success of the Milford Flat Fire Restoration.  Because
   this fire was the size of a small New England state,  bird diversity
and
   abundance responses will be assessed at local-to-landscape scales
(see
   www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/prog/fire/milford_flat_fire.html for
background).
   These positions have a 4-mo field season, with a 5-mo crew leader
   duration.  Fieldwork will be a combination of line transect surveys
and
   habitat assessment.  Field positions can start as early as mid-April
   with all hands on deck by May 1.
All positions require long days & early starts: a sense of humor,
patience, and self-motivation in mandatory.  Also necessary is excellent
vision and hearing, the ability to carry heavy (40 lbs) loads in a pack
over rugged terrain.  Must play well with others: you share housing &
work vehicles.
Everyone is responsible for their own data entry; those with interest
and aptitude may also gain experience with data management & analyses
(distance sampling & mark-recapture).  Experience with either western
bird or small mammal ID is strongly preferred, and experience at least
one of the following methods is preferred: point counts, line transects,
distance sampling trapping webs or mark-recapture.  Expertise with GPS,
GIS, 4WD, and rural living is recommended.  Crew leader applicants
should have: 1) strong skills in field identification of birds
(preferably western) by sight and song, experience with distance
sampling surveys, and small mammal trapping and identification and
mark-recapture techniques ; 2) experience supervising field crews,
interacting with landowners, and project management.  Crew wages:
between $1,620/mo and $2,069/mo depending upon experience (plus field
housing, work truck, and up to $20/day camping per diem), Crew Leader
wages, commensurate with experience, up to $2,571/mo.
Internships with livable stipend are a possibility for those with more
interest than experience.  Consideration begins immediately and will
continue until all positions have been filled, hiring begins Mar 15.
Contact (email preferred) Russell Norvell (russellnorvell (AT) utah.gov)
with a letter of interest, CV, and the names, current phone numbers, and
email addresses of 3 references.  Be sure to include previous experience
with field research and specific dates of availability.  Send surface
