Job no: 244757-TE
Work type: Remote, Temporary
Department: CALS/ FOREST & WILDLIFE ECOL
Location: California
Categories: Research
Job Summary:
Five wildlife technicians are needed for a habitat ecology study of the California Spotted Owl in southern California. All positions will begin on March 15th and last until August 15th, 2022. The pay rate is $20.15 per hour. Wildlife technicians will conduct surveys for California spotted owls, assess owl reproductive status, and locate nest trees in the Los Padres and Angeles National Forests. Wildlife technicians will also record, transcribe, enter data into computer databases, and validate data that was collected in the field.
A typical workweek is 40 hours. Field housing will be provided, but camping will occasionally be required during the work week. Schedules will be irregular, as owls are nocturnal, and work will sometimes require daytime follow-up visits. Technicians must work and live cooperatively.
One of our primary goals is to monitor the status of owls in southern California, as well as to try to understand the environmental factors and forest management practices that impact spotted owl habitat. Ultimately, these results are translated into recommendations to land management agencies such as the US Forest Service responsible for maintaining viable spotted owl populations.
The UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences is committed to maintaining and growing a culture that embraces diversity, inclusion, and equity, believing that these values are foundational elements of our excellence and fundamental components of a positive and enriching learning and working environment for all students, faculty, and staff.
