  • American Goshawk Survey Crew Leader


    mholmgren
    • Employer: The Institute for Bird Populations
      Location: Stanislaus National Forest, California
      Country: United States
      Last Date to Apply: No value
      Open Until Filled: Yes

    Spend your summer doing field work in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. We are looking for experienced crew leaders to supervise and work alongside volunteer field technicians conducting surveys for American Goshawks on the Stanislaus National Forest.

    PROJECT DATES (Tentative): May 27, 2024 – Aug 15, 2024

    RESPONSIBILITIES: Primary duties will involve training, supervising and working with a crew of three field technicians conducting occupancy and reproduction surveys for American Goshawks on National Forest land. Much of the survey work will be off-trail and may require frequent long drives and occasional car camping. Closely coordinating all project activities with the Forest Service, other survey teams, and IBP staff will also be required. Work will be physically demanding, involving off-trail hiking. Survey work will take place in the vicinity of Mi-Wuk Village, California.

    REQUIREMENTS: Previous wildlife survey experience is required; previous supervisory experience is strongly preferred. Other requirements include an ability to work and make decisions independently, interpersonal skills, patience, flexibility in an often-unpredictable environment, a love of adventure, and a desire to teach volunteers about American Goshawks and the Sierra Nevada. A willingness to face the rigors of fieldwork is extremely important. This includes physically demanding work, hot and dry weather, mosquitoes, occasional contact with bears, and housing that may be rustic and/or somewhat crowded. Because the crew will be living in a relatively remote area, a personal vehicle is highly desirable, but is not need for completing work duties.

    SCHEDULE: Early mornings Monday-Friday, ~40 hours per week

    EQUIPMENT: The crew leader is expected to provide her/his own binoculars, hiking boots and camping gear for car camping (tent, sleeping bag, raingear, etc.).

    COMPENSATION: This is an IBP seasonal staff position paying $3,400/month (before payroll taxes) but includes no fringe benefits. Free shared housing is also provided.

    TO APPLY: Please email a resume, cover letter, and the names, phone numbers and email addresses of three references to Mandy Holmgren, Biologist, at: mholmgren AT birdpop DOT org.

    IBP values diversity and encourages people from all backgrounds to apply. All qualified applicants will receive consideration regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation.
