Job announcement – Sagebrush sampling

Hello,
The Institute for Natural Resources at Oregon State University is hiring field crews, crew leaders, and team leaders for sagebrush steppe sampling during the 2021 field season. Work begins late April and will continue to August or September. The job involves vegetation and soil sampling using AIM protocols throughout eastern Oregon, Washington, and northwest Nevada. Field work entails 8 day sampling hitches where we will be camping in the areas we will be working. Crews have 6 days off between hitches.  Crew members travel between their homes and the remote and widespread sample plots on the first and last days of the work hitch. Most crew members live in Portland / Corvallis / Eugene / Bend areas and but there is flexibility on where you can choose to live on the off hitches, provided it is logistically feasible. We are looking for people who are familiar with identifying plants, who can handle the hard work of digging soil pits and vegetation sampling in the often hash steppe environment, and are excited by extensive camping in remote, beautiful areas. The compensation will be between $13.73 and $19.51 per hour for crew members, $14.74 and $21.40 for crew leaders and $15.81 and $23.49 per hour for team leaders (depending on experience). We also provide a per deim of around $80 per day to cover expenses for food and wear and tear on your camping gear. We will be hiring 8 to 10 people under the Bio Tech 1 posting as crew members (who are part of a 2-person crew installing the plots), 5 to 8 people under the Bio Tech 2 posting as crew leaders (who manage the day to day activities of a 2-person crew), and 3 to 5 people under the Bio Tech 3 posting as team leaders (who manage the activities of 2 crews over each hitch). Apply online to the pool before January 19th or 21st, 2019 for full consideration. We will continue to evaluate application received until the closing date of March 31, 2020.
