Biological

+  Seasonal Marbled Murrelet Surveyor

Seabird Research Study
Five to 10 field biologists are needed to conduct surveys for a threatened seabird, the marbled murrelet, on private and government-owned forest lands in western Oregon. Some positions may also involve assisting on other nearby wildlife survey projects. The work includes: conducting early morning surveys in mature and old-growth coniferous forests following a strict protocol, establishment of survey routes, collecting habitat data, conducting surveys, transcribing data and reporting to your supervisor. Applicants should be comfortable navigating and working alone in the forest under low-light conditions and inclement weather. Some survey stations are located on roads, while most stations require hiking 15 min. – 1 hour each way through steep and rugged terrain. Hiking into survey stations will be done in the dark, as surveys start 45 minutes before sunrise.

For the project, we will provide a mandatory full survey certification training, housing, 4WD work vehicle, and all field equipment. A vehicle bonus and mileage reimbursement will be provided to biologists using their own 4WD high-clearance, reliable vehicle on the project.
