The Nature Conservancys Texas Chapter is hiring a field biologist to assist with a variety of monitoring and research projects throughout Texas. Current and anticipated projects include but are not limited to grassland bird surveys (particularly for Spragues pipit), songbird surveys in central and west Texas, habitat descriptions for black-capped vireos and golden-cheeked warblers, fire effects monitoring in east and west Texas, grassland surveys in coastal prairie, and monitoring of rare plants. Duties will include preparation and maintenance of equipment, generating maps, conducting field work, data entry and verification, and report writing. The Field Biologist will travel to remote preserves for extended periods and work under variable field conditions. Work will be conducted alone, with other staff, and with volunteers. Roads on many preserves are rough and experience driving 4WD vehicles off-road is highly desirable. The position will be based in our San Antonio office and will start in as soon as possible, but no later than November 2013. To apply, visit nature.org/careers and search for job ID 41395. Applications are due September 10.
