The ecologist / wildlife biologist position with QinetiQ, in support of Fort Irwin, is still open. There is sitll time to get your resume in.
The position is about 50% field work/50% office work. You will be working with some combination of the following organisms: desert tortoise, bighorn sheep, migratory birds, Mojave fringe-toed lizards, nuissance animals (coyotes, ravens), and rare plants (a milkvetch, desert cymopterus). A mater's degree is prefered but work experience can substitute for this. You would write and perform surveys and possibly write management plans. A knowledge of or familiarity with with the NEPA process and the ESA is a plus, as well as a familiarity with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This is a permanent, full-time position (with overtime possibility) that starts immediately. You will be working closely with military and government officials and an ability to pass a background check is a must. Unfortunately, I believe we can only hire US citizens because of this. This is a great mid-level position for someone who has done years of temporary work or recently finished an MA/MS. Be prepared to send long days in the heat (or cold in the winter) of the Mojave desert, doing brisk walking and hiking. We would also really love someone with an expert eye for bird idenfitication (not a must, just a plus). Please include the following with your e-mail (updated): -a current resume -a cover letter -a writing sample, -transcripts Send your resume to either [email protected] and I will forward it. Or send it directly to the hiring manager, Kevin Hurrell ( [email protected]). If you send it directly to Mr. Hurrel, please mention my name (Kurt) and that you saw the post on Ecolog! Thanks! If you already applied and did not include everything requested, you can e-mail it to me or wait until our hiring manager contacts you.
