The University of Montana (UM) O’Connor Center for the Rocky Mountain West (OCRMW) is developing a student internship program in partnership with the Montana/Dakotas Bureau of Land Management (BLM). We are currently recruiting an Intern Crew Lead with experience in environmental studies, environmental education, ecology or related field to lead crew of two University of Montana undergraduate interns to collect data in the Billings, MT Field Office May 15 through August 15 (with possible extension into September).
This crew is based in the BLM Billings Field Office and will interact directly with BLM and UM staff. The Crew Lead will act as a mentor to students while implementing the BLM’s Terrestrial Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) strategy. This protocol is targeted at collecting standardized inventory and long-term vegetation and soils data at multiple scales across BLM Districts in the Western U.S.
The Intern Crew Lead will lead 2 UM undergraduate student technicians to collect vegetation and soils data in sagebrush-steppe and grassland ecosystems. Crews work four 10-hour days per week. Crews will typically return to Billings each day but will occasionally be required to camp in isolated regions. We ask seasonal staff to commit to the entire field season, practice safety awareness, safe driving policies, and contribute to building a healthy, productive and enjoyable work environment.
Applicants should understand that this is physically demanding work. Crews often work in inclement weather conditions, frequently navigating rough, unpaved roads in 4×4 vehicles, and carrying heavy loads (40 lbs.) by foot over rugged, mountainous terrain. Primitive camping is required on occasion. Cell phone service is limited but crews are provided with a satellite device for safety.
UM supplies all necessary monitoring equipment, including vehicles, to carry out the work.
The University of Montana is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer and has a strong institutional commitment to the principle of diversity in all areas. Applicants with diverse backgrounds, experiences, ability and perspectives are encouraged to apply.
