The Forest Service (yours truly) is looking to hire a seasonal GS-0404-5
Biological Science Technician (Wildlife) for the 2018 field season,
working out of the Paonia Ranger Station in scenic downtown
Paonia.Duties will be primarily field surveys and monitoring for
migratory birds, goshawks, purple martins, and leopard frogs, along with
whatever other fun and interesting things we can find time to do over
the summer. Associated work includes data collection, maintenance of
data sets, data entry, preparation of reports or presentations on
findings, and similar.Work will be in support of environmental analyses
for timber, minerals, recreation, and/or wildlife projects. This is a
paid seasonal position, not to exceed 1039 hours (6 months), and I
expect funding to cease Oct 1, although there may be work the following
summer.This is a field position (as much as possible), full time, with a
work schedule that may include early morning hours for surveying, and
will require hiking and off-trail travel through the forest.Any
necessary training and equipment will be provided.
The outreach notice is currently posted on
https://fsoutreach.gdcii.com/.Search for Paonia as the location and it
should lead you to the announcement.It should also be on the GMUG
website and Facebook page before the day is out.The job will be posted
on USAJOBS.gov in a few weeks (hopefully), at which point I will
probably post here again, as well as sending direct information to
anyone who contacts me in any way about it during the outreach period.If
you truly wish to apply for the position, I recommend going to USAJOBS
well before the deadline and preparing your information and resume to
make the application process go faster.
Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. My work email is
dgarri...@fs.fed.us <mailto:dgarri...@fs.fed.us>, and my phone # is
970-527-4131 x4259.
