The Institute for Natural Resources at Oregon State University is hiring seasonal field biologist positions. The Sagebrush Vegetation Seasonal Field Biologist is a spring-summer (5 month) position to obtain primary-source data on sagebrush community vegetation for all shrub steppe habitats in eastern Oregon. The project will entirely involve field research, shrub steppe species identifications, and the use of field sampling software to collect Assessment, Inventory and Monitoring (AIM) information on BLM lands in southeastern Oregon. The work will also include gathering accuracy assessment information, and will assist in the implementation of the Oregon Greater Sage-Grouse action plan. Knowledge of or ability to learn how to identify dominant plant species, collect field data and navigate in the field is essential. This is year 1 of a 5 year BLM-OSU cooperative agreement. A resume and letter must be received by email by March 30, 2016. Crews will be working from mid-April through mid-September.
