Temporary Field Technician Positions with the Corridor Project We are hiring 2-3 technicians to work with us this fall on the Corridor Project (PIs: Nick Haddad, Ellen Damschen, Doug Levey, John Orrock, Lars Brudvig, and Julian Resasco). Our landscape-scale fragmentation experiment is designed to understand the long-term dynamics of habitat connectivity in a longleaf pine savanna system. Successful candidates will be based full-time at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in New Ellenton, SC. Job duties will include: pan trapping bees, plant demography surveys, data entry/proofing, and field site maintenance. Positions are expected to last approximately two months with a preferred start date in September 2017. Technicians will be paid $12/hour. Housing is not provided.
Successful candidates will hold a bachelor’s degree in ecology or a related field and have previous field experience. Additionally, candidates should be able to endure hot/humid conditions and long hours in the field. Because the Savannah River Site is a highly secure area run by the U.S. Department of Energy, non-United States citizens may have difficulty gaining clearance to work there. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. Review of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled, but applications will no longer be considered after September 15, 2017. To apply, please email a CV and a cover letter that describe your past experience, why you are a strong candidate for this position, dates of availability, and contact information (email addresses and phone numbers) for three references to our project manager/lead technician, Melissa Burt, at [email protected].
