Raptor Nest Survey Field Technicians are needed to assist with raptor nest surveys and monitoring in northwestern Utah from March–July 2010.  The technicians’ primary duties will involve searching for and monitoring known nests of Burrowing Owl, Ferruginous Hawk, and Golden Eagles in shrub, pinyon-juniper, and desert habitats, vegetation classification, and the recording and entering of data.  Attention may also be paid to other nesting raptor species.  Applicants should have or be near the completion of a bachelor’s degree in wildlife biology or a similar field and previous field experience and skills suited to the position.  Specifically, experience identifying raptors and familiarity with raptor nesting ecology is desired.  Applicants should be skilled at navigating unimproved and unmarked roads and on foot with maps, compass, and GPS.  Applicants should also be comfortable working and living with others in remote settings, but also working alone for limited periods.  Technicians will camp in the field during portions of the season (applicants with their own equipment are preferred), but some access to bunkhouse or trailer accommodations may be available.  Technicians will assist with data entry when not in the field.  Applicants must have a valid driver’s license, insurance, and a clean driving record (a 4WD vehicle will be provided).  The positions pay $2,400/month and are open until filled.  Please submit a cover letter addressing your qualifications and date of availability, a detailed resume, and the names of three professional references with phone numbers and email addresses to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
