Hi all,
Just a quick note here. We are looking for a field technician this summer, doing amphibian surveys. This will work well for college students or those needing field work experience. Mostly it is data collection and counting but it will also involve killing some specimens. Housing is provided but it is a bunk type set up-not gender separated.
here are all the details....
TITLE: Playa Wetland Field Technician
DESCRIPTION: Tech position for conducting amphibian surveys in playa wetlands
NUMBER OF POSITIONS: 1
WORK LOCATION: Texas panhandle
PAY RATE: $1280/month
DURATION: May-August (specific dates will be worked out)
HOUSING: shared trailer provided at Buffalo Lake NWR, Umbarger, TX
This position requires an energetic individual who is interested in wetland biology, amphibian diversity, and is not opposed to working long hours. Field work may at times be rigorous, often including hiking in hot/strenuous conditions with survey equipment. Therefore, adaptability and tolerance of adverse field conditions is a requirement for applicants.
Duties will include: assisting with conducting both day and night amphibian surveys (prior knowledge of species is not required) by running visual transects as well as call surveys at night, taking soil core samples, measuring water loss rates, vegetation surveys (knowledge of wetland plants is not required, but useful), and assisting with maintenance of amphibians at the field station.
If interested please send resume by April 20, 2009 to:
