- Description
- Description: We are seeking 2 technicians for a long-term research project on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of Alaska that focuses on the evolutionary ecology and population dynamics of Black Brant. Primary duties include searching for and monitoring nests of brant and other waterfowl, reading color-character tarsal bands of marked brant, capturing and banding adult brant and goslings, data entry, and assisting with remote field camp operations. Working hours can be irregular and are often influenced by weather and tides.

The project is based out of a remote field camp with limited amenities (e.g., no running water, cellular service, or internet). Eligibility: U.S. citizens and non-citizens that are lawfully authorized to work in the United States.
