IMPORTANT: This Advertiser has requested that applicants MUST be National Residents / Valid Work Permit-holders. Other applicants need not apply.
We are seeking a highly motivated individual to participate in a stream temperature monitoring project in the remote Owyhee Basin of Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada. The overarching goals are to understand effects of land management on this aquatic ecosystem (particularly the fish community), identify sites for habitat restoration, and initiate a long term record for climate change monitoring. Field work will include, but is not limited to: navigating with a GPS to predetermined locations on foot and in a vehicle or ATV using remote, poorly maintained roads; placing stream temperature data loggers under water; collecting associated habitat and other biological information, including fish identification through snorkeling; data entry using databases and GIS software. Some sampling may be conducted from inflatable kayaks. Work requires attention to detail with data collection and ability to work independently and well with others. This is a physically demanding job, involving hiking, driving, and camping in rugged terrain for long days outdoors for up to 8 — 10 days (with 2 days off per 5 days worked). Weather conditions are variable in this high desert location, with hot days (up to 95 F) and occasional strong thunderstorms. Assistant must provide his/her own camping equipment.
