We are looking for up to six or seven motivated and curious field assistants to assist the Cal Poly Humboldt Wildland Fire Lab on a few research projects investigating restoration or fuels treatments in old-growth ponderosa pine forest at Crater Lake National Park (1-2) in partnership with Louisiana Tech, secondary redwood forests following wildfire in Redwood National Park (1), and Baker cypress at multiple locations in northern California (3-4). Field research will entail navigating to plots, collecting a variety of tree and fuels measurements, as well asother tasks. Assistants should be able to hike short to moderate distances across uneven and steep terrain, tolerate hot/humid weather conditions, and be willing to tent camp for up to four days at a time. A rental vehicle will be available for work-related travel. These positions will be based out of Arcata, CA (redwood and Baker Cypress projects) or southern Oregon (Crater Lake project), with overnight camping near field sites occurring Monday-Thursday during the field season. We will provide training for specific data collection methods, though experience with forest, fuels, and vegetation measurements is preferred.More details and application information available here: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffirelab.humboldt.edu%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2024_fire_lab_field_assistant_ad.pdf&data=05%7C02%7Cmid14018%40uconn.mail.onmicrosoft.com%7C2f1cc4bd1f8f49d32dd708dc23de78b2%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638424685605972142%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Ip2VihzhLs6lFMxWMvehdY3mWvKoVEk68W0%2BHi7h2t0%3D&reserved=0Applications due by Feb 15, 2024
