Are you an emerging field technician looking to gain experience as part of a team of scientists in Oregon’s high desert working on sagebrush steppe? Do you have strong attention to detail and enjoy data collection and preparation to support restoration projects? You could be one of our next two Sagebrush Ecology Technicians that will join us from July 2018- December 2018 in Burns, Oregon.
The Nature Conservancy of Oregon Desert’s team is looking for two technicians to collect data in support of field research, monitoring, and assessment projects (30%) and support preparation and implementation of projects via field and lab work (50%). Other duties will include data entry (10%) and other conservation/science tasks as directed (10%). You will work on projects that include collecting data on efficacy of novel sagebrush-steppe restoration technologies, collecting field data to assess accuracy of remotely-sensed ecological status, and pilot testing of sage-grouse habitat quality tools. The Sagebrush Ecology Technician will also support The Nature Conservancy's Precision Restoration project by producing enhanced seed materials, designed to increase successful restoration of native perennial vegetation in annual grass-prone rangelands.
