Seasonal Waterfowl Research Technicians

Summer 2015

 

Ducks Unlimited’s Great Plains Regional Office in Bismarck, ND, seeks four highly-motivated research technicians and crew leaders to assist with a brood survey throughout the Prairie Pothole Region of northwest North Dakota (ND) and northeast Montana (MT) during the spring and summer of 2015. Field operations will be based out of Bismarck, but research technicians will travel daily and will be stationed near Medicine Lake, MT or Stanley, Donnybrook, or Crosby, ND.

 

Major responsibilities will include properly identifying duck broods to species and age class. Successful applicants will be expected to work at least five days each week (i.e., 60-80 hours per week). Field work is physically and mentally demanding and takes place under challenging conditions. Therefore, only enthusiastic, dedicated individuals should apply. A strong interest in waterfowl and wetlands ecology, desire to spend long days in the field, and determination to get the job done well is required. Inquisitive, detail-oriented, and self-motivated applicants are preferred. Experience identifying waterfowl and navigating using hard-copy maps are also preferred skills. Successful applicants will be expected to work safely and effectively in a rural setting without direct supervision. A valid driver’s license and clean driving record is required.

 

Researchers hired to conduct brood surveys will work from approximately 22 June ~ 21 August. Research technician salary is $1,800/month. Housing for all positions will be provided.
