Last Date to Apply: 2/28/25 (open until filled)
Primary responsibilities include conducting standardized avian point count and vegetation surveys, and data entry.

Technicians may have the opportunity to extend employment depending on 2025 IBO project needs and job performance.Â
This position requires daily travel between survey sites and overnight camping in undeveloped and remote areas. Most surveys sites are accessible by vehicle, but a small amount require short overnight backpacking trips (<10 mi hike in). Technicians will work (and live) independently for the majority of the duration of this position.
Technicians will have the opportunity to observe a large suite of interesting bird species, work in proximity to charismatic megafauna, and travel to beautiful and historic locations significant to the American West. Surveys are in a wide variety of habitats that occur in the region, including grassland, shrubsteppe, riparian, pinyon-juniper, montane forest, and alpine ecosystems. Surveys occur on both public and private lands.
