Pacific (and some non Pacific) jobs with USFWS. Apply via www.usajobs.gov ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: White, Susan <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Nov 4, 2016 at 4:01 PM Subject: Fwd: US Fish & Wildlife Service National Hire Announcements - Pacific Islands- OPEN
Aloha all.. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has opened the announcement advertising 50+ positions that support our mission critical conservation work to the public on *www.usajobs.gov* <http://www.usajobs.gov/>. *A number of these are in the islands, including **"Wildlife Refuge" ** Management Specialist for Palmyra Atoll, Papahanaumokuakea "Wildlife Refuge" Management Specialist, and **"Wildlife Refuge" **Management Specialist for Midway Atoll, as well as a number of positions for FWS Ecological Services. * Knowledge of marine ecosystems are encouraged. The vacancies are posted in different announcements. It looks like Hawaii and Pacific Islands jobs are announced separate than those on the continent... and it currently (wrongly) says they are based on Hawaii Island. Refuge System jobs will be based in Honolulu and Midway. We will try to fix that, but in the mean time you can scroll to the bottom of this message for links to the official USA job posts. *Additionally, we are conducting outreach to minority groups to ensure that we have a diverse pool of highly qualified applicants.
