Spring Migration Bird Bander

SPRING MIGRATION BIRD BANDER (1) needed from 1 March to 31 May (start and end dates somewhat flexible) to assist with the 24th year of migration banding at the Foreman’s Branch Bird Observatory (FBBO).  We are a high-volume banding station located outside Chestertown MD. In spring we band an average of 100 species including hummingbirds, shorebirds and raptors, in addition to passerines.  Successful applicants will have extensive mist netting experience (processed at least 1000 birds) and must have at least one season’s experience of migration banding.  NABC bander certification is highly desirable.  The position is 40 hours a week (with 2 days off).  Pay is $12.15/hour and housing is provided. A personal vehicle is best due to our rural location.  Applications must be submitted through Washington College’s website here: https://www.washcoll.edu/people_departments/offices/human-resources/employment/index.php Questions can be directed to Maren Gimpel mgimpel2@washcoll.edu
