Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission is seeking a highly motivated individual to assist the U.S. Geological Survey by leading a field crew in the collection of stream flow permanence and stream-road crossing assessments. The accurate mapping of streams and stream flow conditions is important to understanding the physical, chemical, and biological processes in streams and to manage land, water, and ecological resources. Stream-road crossings are one of the most unseen and prevalent threats to aquatic ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest.
The candidate will lead a team of two (self included) at various locations in Oregon to collect stream flow and road-stream crossing data. Field stints will require overnight travel between 4 and 8 days. Work will be conducted on public lands throughout the study areas. Employees will be camping with occasional hotel stays while in the field. Ability to conduct field work in streams is required. Primary responsibilities include the following: visit points and/or follow routes to locate stream crossing location survey sites by navigating on rough backcountry roads using GPS and topographic maps to accurately record site attributes by characterizing stream flow (FLOwPER) and road-stream crossings data (ROADStr) on mobile devices, drive 4-wheel drive vehicles on remote, un-improved roads, hike off trail and over rough terrain. As crew lead, the candidate will be responsible for verifying and editing biological or habitat data that has been entered on field forms and electronic data loggers. The incumbent must maintain, organize, and provide access to the database, write memoranda and short reports for transfer of data and produce summaries, including corrections of field work and data collection during field stints. This is primarily a field-based position and field sites will be in remote locations. In general, the work will be conducted during a 4-day work week and 10-hour days. Occasionally, weekend/holiday work and 8-day field stints may occur. Minimum HS degree, BS or BA preferred. Environmental, biological, or science-based degree preferred. Ideal experience would be at least one year in fisheries, wildlife, or natural resources.
