Fellow Ecologists, The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is recruiting for a Field Ecologist I position, with a focus on the maintenance of environmental sensors. The selected individual will partner with other instrumentation-focused Field Ecologists to ensure NEON sensors are collecting data as expected and support infrastructure is in good condition. The selected individual will primarily focus on the Wind River Experimental Forest and Abby Road field sites in southwest Washington. Each of these sites features a surface-atmosphere exchange tower and an associated array of ground-level and soil profile sensors. The Wind River tower is exceptional within the NEON network, both for its height (~240 feet from the ground to the top rail) and its history as the former support structure for the Wind River Canopy Crane that facilitated research on the canopies of Pacific Northwest old growth forests. The selected candidate will also provide support for in-stream sensor installations at Martha Creek (Wind River Experimental Forest) and McRae Creek (HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon), and for observational sampling across all of these NEON sites. If you have a strong mechanical aptitude, an organized approach to troubleshooting, an interest in the ecology of Pacific Northwest forests, and the willingness to work at heights, please consider applying.
