Wildlife (Bat) BiologistDescription: The Great Basin Institute, in cooperation with the National Park Service, is recruiting a Wildlife (Bat) Biologist to develop a bat occupancy monitoring and public outreach program at Great Basin National Park in eastern Nevada. Bat surveys will provide current information on life history, population status and trends, location of key concentrations, and habitat conservation needs. To better understand species density, richness and diversity within the park, surveys may include information on locations of roosts, roost fidelity, frequency of changes in roost occupancy, and associated foraging requirements. Bat monitoring requires a diverse array of field techniques, including mist netting, exit and roost counts, and acoustic sampling. Related work will include generating a dataset that provides key indicators of species density, richness, and diversity to inform adaptive management strategies; data analysis and management in an occupancy model framework; and producing assessments and recommendations for continued species monitoring. Engaging in public outreach to inform park visitors about their role in preventing the spread of White Nose Disease will be part of the monitoring and outreach program. In addition, the Wildlife Biologist may be provided opportunities to participate in other resource management projects, depending on the schedule of completed primary tasks.
