SEASONAL AVIAN FIELD TECHNICIAN (1) - Needed mid-May through mid-Aug to assist graduate students from Colorado State University investigating bird and small mammal responses to restoration in the Piceance Basin of Colorado. Duties will include conducting bird surveys, mist netting, bird banding, observing foraging behavior and activity patterns and vegetation surveys. Other duties will include small mammal trapping and mammal tagging. Extensive mist netting and bird banding experience is required. Point count experience and the ability to identify birds by sight and sound are strongly preferred. Applicants must be able to work well with a group and be comfortable working long hours in the field in occasionally hot and buggy conditions. The schedule is likely to be 10 days in the field and 4 days off, but could change based on research needs. Housing and vehicle will be provided while in the field, but applicants may want a personal vehicle for days off since the field site is quite remote. Staying in field housing is an option during days off. Salary $1,200 - $1,500 per month, depending on experience.
