Title: Program Coordinator Agency: Alaska Department of Fish and Game Job location: Anchorage, Juneau, or Fairbanks Remote work: Flexible/hybrid Salary: $3,366.40-$3,534.40 Biweekly Application deadline: 4/23/2023
Job description: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is hiring a Program Coordinator to lead the Threatened, Endangered, and Diversity (TED) Program! The incumbent will oversee 10 staff biologists. The position helps guide the program's research and conservation efforts on species of concern and coordinates the State of Alaska's work on issues involving the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). A key goal of this position is to direct science and conservation needs for species of concern and address conservation challenges before species become highly imperiled. The position simultaneously juggles the relatively quick pace of ESA issues with the longer-term needs of research and conservation projects. The TED Program works proactively with state, federal, NGO, and private partners to conserve wildlife species (especially nongame species) before they become threatened or endangered and to recover species listed under the Endangered Species Act. The TED Program leads the implementation of Alaska's State Wildlife Action Plan (in coordination with ADF&G's Division of Sportfish) and represents Alaska's nongame interests at the Pacific Flyway Council's Nongame Technical Committee. TED Program staff are working to address a diverse range of projects, including research and conservation of olive-sided flycatchers, lesser yellowlegs, golden eagles, bank swallows, red knots, collared pikas, Alaska hares, bats, and gray-headed chickadees. While this is not a marine mammal position, the incumbent will work on ESA issues involving multiple marine mammal species.
