Reed, Ph.D. I just wanted to let everyone know that 2 graduate students at UAF are still looking for technicians for the summer. Emily Weiser is looking for a student to help with surveying gulls on the North Slope, working out of Barrow. This is a student-only job, so if you are still looking for a summer job, you should apply! Valerie Steen is looking at Black Terns throughout the Great Plains, and is looking for a few technicians to help with surveying breeding colonies in North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, and Kansas. These are both a great way to get some pretty diverse experience. The details for each posting are below. Contact Emily Weiser at ftelw@uaf.edu, and Valerie Steen at ftvas@uaf.edu. SUMMER FIELD ASSISTANT needed for Glaucous Gull study based in Barrow, Alaska. Position runs from 8 Jun – 23 Aug 2008 (exact dates slightly flexible; see also important note below). Glaucous Gulls are major predators in northern Alaska, and benefit from human development; this study is examining the relationship of gulls to development and to prey species. Most work will be done around Barrow, Alaska; we will also briefly visit colonies on the oilfields and in an undeveloped area. Work will include collecting food samples (pellets), recording reproductive data (including capturing chicks), and observing gulls. Opportunities will exist to volunteer with other projects in Barrow, such as shorebird studies. Throughout our field work, we will encounter jaegers, loons, snowy owls, a variety of shorebirds and waterfowl, caribou, arctic foxes, and millions of mosquitoes. Qualifications: No experience necessary; undergraduates in a relevant program are encouraged to apply. Candidates must be in excellent shape, as we will be carrying field gear across tundra (wet and uneven ground). You must also be willing to work 6-7 days a week in variable (usually cool) weather with occasional hordes of mosquitoes, and to regularly ride in a helicopter. Salary: $4200 plus benefits, housing, and travel from your hometown to Barrow. Important note: You will need to complete BLM aviation safety training before the field season. There are a few options for this: 1) If you live within Alaska, we can bring you to Fairbanks for training there on 19 May, send you home, then fly you up to Barrow for field work on 8 Jun. 2) If you are coming from outside Alaska, we can fly you up by 19 May for training, and you will then need to stay in Alaska until we begin field work on 8 Jun (or fly yourself home; we cannot afford two plane tickets to the lower 48). This would be a great opportunity to travel around and see other parts of Alaska! 3) BLM aviation training is offered in certain places in other states; if this includes a city near you, you could complete training there and come up on 8 Jun. Contact me if you would like to explore that option. 4) If you have completed BLM aviation safety training within the past 3 years, your certification is still good and you can just fly up on 8 Jun. For more information: contact Emily (see below) or visit project website: http://www.iab.uaf.edu/~emily_weiser/. To apply: Send cover letter explaining why you are interested and why you would be a good fit for this position, and resume with contact information for 2-3 references, to EMILY WEISER (EM: ftelw AT uaf.edu). You will also need to apply via this link: http://www.uakjobs.com/applicants/Central?quickFind=62356. Application deadline: Position open until filled; for full consideration, apply by 20 Mar 2008.

February 29th, 2008 If anyone is looking for a really interesting field job, check out this listing. This is an especially good one for someone who wants a shorter field season, but still would get a lot of experience.Here's the information for my field assistant position. If you couldforward it to the Wildlife Society and anyone else you think might be interested, that would be great... Thanks! Position Title: Summer Field Assistant for Glaucous Gull study Description: Field Assistant needed to spend the summer helping a master's student collect data on Glaucous Gull diet and reproduction. Glaucous Gulls are major predators in northern Alaska, and benefit from human development; this study is examining the relationship of gulls to development and to prey species. Most work will be done around Barrow, Alaska. In June and August we will also visit gull colonies at three other sites in northern Alaska: the Alpine Oilfield (near Nuiqsut), the Prudhoe Bay Oilfields, and an undeveloped area north of Teshekpuk Lake. During each visit to each site, we will collect food samples (gull pellets and prey remains) and record reproductive data. We will spend the month of July in Barrow, observing gulls, collecting food samples at gull loafing areas, and beginning to analyze the food samples. Opportunities will exist to volunteer with other projects in Barrow during this time. Throughout the course of our field work, we will encounter breeding jaegers, loons, snowy owls, a variety of shorebirds and waterfowl, caribou, and millions of mosquitoes. E-mail Emily (see contact below) for more information or with specific questions. Requirements: No experience necessary; undergraduates in a wildlife/biology program looking to gain field experience are encouraged to apply. Candidates must be in excellent shape, as we will sometimes be carrying field gear for several miles across tundra (wet and uneven ground). You must also be willing to work 7 days a week (probably less than 8 hours most days, especially July), and to deal with variable (usually chilly) weather. Mosquitoes can be extremely dense in good weather, so be prepared to be swarmed. Applicants must be willing to ride in a helicopter and a small motor boat, and to operate a small inflatable kayak on tundra ponds to reach the gull colonies. Website: http://users.iab.uaf.edu/~emily_weiser/ (Most of the information on the website is based on the study design from last year, which was a pilot season and slightly different from this year's plan.) To Apply: Send cover letter and resume to Emily at ftelw@uaf.edu. You will also need to apply via UAK Jobs; the position is not yet posted, but after I receive your resume I will e-mail you the link for that posting. Please feel free to e-mail with questions prior to applying! Emily L. Weiser Field work in Agassiz NWR, MN Volunteer position with USFWS - Kanuti NWR One VOLUNTEER FIELD ASSISTANT (BIRDS) position available: Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge in north-central Alaska is looking for an enthusiastic, "woods-wise,” and fit individual interested in spending about 4-6 weeks at Kanuti Lake cabin, a remote area in the heart of this roadless and pristine refuge. The time period (training plus field work) would be approximately early April to mid-May, depending on snow/ice conditions. The crew (volunteer and staff bird biologist) would be transported to the cabin by ski-plane towards the end of our wintertime ski-access season and would remain there through the spring "break-up" of rivers and lakes. The main purposes of this opportunity will be to help: a) gather general bird arrival date information, b) determine early nesting season conditions, and c) investigate the area’s feasibility for future Rusty Blackbird and/or Solitary Sandpiper breeding ecology studies. We are looking for a fairly experienced birder who can take good field notes, hike in fairly challenging terrain, and is pretty independent and comfortable with staying in remote areas. Knowledge and experience in use of canoes, boats, two-way radios, first aid, and firearms is preferable. Kanuti NWR will pay for travel between Fairbanks and the cabin, and will provide food, field equipment, and minor subsistence expenses. Prior to travel to the field, volunteers will attend safety training classes such as First Aid, CPR, bear safety, firearms safety, etc.. The volunteer must be willing to serve in a very remote setting for a month or more and be comfortable in “bear country.” While bears are not abundant and usually are not a major problem at this site, both black and grizzly bears do occur on the refuge and may be encountered. The crew will be carrying both firearm(s) and bear spray for protection. Fieldwork will always be conducted with the bird biologist. Much of the reconnaissance will occur along/near the Kanuti River where walking is uneven and frequently challenging because of marshes, bogs, tussock meadows, and wetlands. For about a two-week period at the height of spring breakup, access to the area will not be possible by airplane. While the river and lake waters are breaking up, the only means of leaving the site would be a helicopter, which would be used only in case an emergency evacuation was needed. The cabin has comfortable amenities such as propane cook stove, wood stove, bedrooms, solar electric power system, refrigeration, but no running water. Contact with the outside world will be via satellite phone and two-way radio. Come help monitor the bird life at our remote field cabin! Any questions can be directed to Chris Harwood (EM: christopher_harwood AT fws.gov) or Lisa Saperstein, toll-free at 1-877-220-1853. Submit a letter of interest, resume, and the names, addresses, and phone numbers of three references (email preferred) by 1 March 2008 to: (EM: christopher_harwood AT fws.gov). If you cannot send your resume electronically, you can mail it to: Chris Harwood, Kanuti NWR, 101 12th Ave., Room 262, Fairbanks, AK 99701. back to top |
