Spend your summer doing field work in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains! We are looking
for an experienced crew leader to supervise five volunteer field technicians conducting surveys
for Northern Goshawks.

PROJECT DATES (tentative): June 5, 2019 – Aug 15, 2019

RESPONSIBILITIES: Primary duties will involve training and supervising a survey crew
conducting occupancy and reproduction surveys for Northern Goshawks on National Forest land.
Much of the survey work will be off trail and will require frequent long drives and occasional car
camping. Closely coordinating all project activities with the Forest Service will also be required.
Work will be physically demanding, involving off-trail hiking and exposure to hot weather.

REQUIREMENTS: Previous raptor survey experience is required; previous supervisory
experience is strongly preferred. Other requirements include a sense of humor, a love of
adventure, and a desire to teach volunteers about Northern Goshawks and the Sierra Nevada.
Survey work will occur primarily in the vicinity of Quincy, CA. A willingness to face the rigors
of fieldwork with good humor is important. These rigors include physically demanding work, hot
and dry weather, mosquitoes, occasional contact with bears, and housing that may be rustic
and/or somewhat crowded. A personal vehicle is highly desirable but not strictly required.

SCHEDULE: Typically 7 days on and 3 off.

EQUIPMENT: The crew leader is expected to provide her/his own binoculars, hiking boots and
camping gear for car camping (tent, sleeping bag, raingear, etc.).

COMPENSATION: This is an IBP seasonal staff position paying $3,000/month (before payroll
taxes) but includes no fringe benefits. Free shared housing will also be provided.

TO APPLY: Please email a resume, cover letter, and the names, phone numbers and email
addresses of three references to Mandy Holmgren, Biologist, at: mholmgren@birdpop.org.
