This position requires an experienced, highly motivated individual willing and able to conduct field work safely, efficiently, and professionally in a variety of environments on lands managed by the Gunnison Field Office, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The successful candidate will perform important field survey work that benefits bats and other wildlife dependent on subterranean habitat, by conducting surface inventory of abandoned mine lands (AML) and monitoring of abandoned mine closures (i.e., bat-compatible gates). AML inventory and monitoring will occur in partnership with BLM land managers and will inform AML database development used to plan future wildlife surveys and habitat protection efforts.
Additionally, this position may assist with project management duties including report writing, data and photo management, and other pre- and post-fieldwork tasks. On-the-job training will occur.

This is a seasonal, field-based position. The season will begin July 22 and is expected to last 8-12 weeks, depending on workload and weather conditions. Work weeks will generally be 40 hours in length, and occasional overtime pay may be incurred. Weekly and daily work schedules may vary, depending on weather conditions, with potential for some workdays up to 12 hours in length. While this position is primarily field-based, a small proportion of time will be spent on other duties, including gear and vehicle maintenance, data entry, and photo management.
Location:
This position will be duty stationed in Gunnison, Colorado, a small town with limited services. The field project will occur in remote, mountainous terrain and will require operating 4wd vehicles (including on unmaintained roads) and hiking long distances with heavy packs (containing project gear and personal supplies). Housing will be provided by BCI in hotel rooms or a shared rental house, with private bedrooms for each crew member, and communal kitchens and bathrooms.
