Job Description:
The Conservation Research Center of Teton Science Schools is seeking a Research Field Team Leader to coordinate five groups of 4-12 adult research volunteers examining avian productivity and survivorship in the greater Jackson, Wyoming area. Duties include volunteer training, oversight, daily schedule organization, logistics and working with volunteers to achieve research objectives. Field tasks will include nest searching, nest monitoring, resighting color-banded passerines and nest-predator monitoring (corvids and non-poisonous snakes). Applicants must have excellent attention to detail and a proven record of responsibility. Schedule is 10-days on, 4-days off. Weekend work required. Project objectives include: 1) identification of avian population trends associated with residential development; 2) increased understanding of juvenile survivorship patterns; 3) improved understanding of passerine nesting success, post-fledging mortality and post-fledging dispersal. Research as education is an essential component of this position. The Coordinator must be dedicated to both the research objectives and to ensuring that volunteers have a positive, productive experience.
