We are looking for two Project Officers to support our Preventing Extinctions team to deliver projects focused on the recovery of the Eastern Bristlebird and the South-eastern Glossy Black-Cockatoo.

1) The Eastern Bristlebird Project Officer will work in a team to plan and implement BirdLife’s Eastern Bristlebird Project to address an important knowledge gap in our understanding of the distribution of the southern Eastern Bristlebird.

This role will identify priority management areas by working in a team to: map the extent of suitable habitat for the southern population of Eastern Bristlebird; investigate occupancy by Eastern Bristlebird after the 2019-20 bushfires; and examine the degree of connectivity between subpopulations. The successful applicant must be physically fit and able to undertake fieldwork in remote areas for extended periods.

2) The South-eastern Glossy Black-Cockatoo Project Officer will work in a team collaborating with project partners and key stakeholders to develop and deliver a targeted citizen science project to improve knowledge of the demographics and distribution of South-eastern Glossy Black-Cockatoo populations.

This role will address important knowledge gaps regarding South-eastern Glossy Black-Cockatoo foraging and breeding habitat in areas affected by the 2019-20 bushfires and work to centralise and improve data management for the species.
