Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Biologist/CoordinatorAbout Trout UnlimitedToday, Trout Unlimited is a national organization with more than 150,000 members organized into about 400 chapters nationwide. This dedicated group of grassroots volunteers is matched by a respected staff of organizers, lawyers, policy experts and scientists, who work out of more than 30 offices. Our mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America's cold-water fisheries and their watersheds. Position SummaryThis is an exciting opportunity to join Trout Unlimited as part of our field staff in Nevada. The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Coordinator implements our LCT Conservation Initiative in Nevada, Eastern California, Southern Oregon and Western Utah. The Initiative is funded largely by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), whose Keystone Initiative program has created a 10 year granting program for LCT conservation. The Biologist/Coordinator will work with federal and state agencies, as well as tribes, universities, non-profits, private landowners and stakeholders involved in LCT recovery to fund (through the NFWF Keystone Initiative granting program and other sources) and collaboratively implement projects that achieve the goals of the LCT Conservation Initiative and promote recovery of this threatened sub-species. The position will likely be part-time for a 6 month trial period, with potential for full-time. Funding for this position is currently available for 12 months (full time), and is otherwise obtained in 18 month cycles but is highly likely to be renewed at the end of each grant cycle.
