Job: Botany/Birding Technicians Summer 2020, Oregon
The Landscape Fire and Conservation Science Research Group (LCRSG) at Oregon State University is hiring 4 field research technicians to assist with data collection on a landscape scale retrospective study examining biodiversity responses to wildfire, salvage logging, and intensive forest management in the Klamath ecoregion of southwest Oregon during summer 2020.
Early seral pre-forest habitats created by stand-replacing disturbances are increasingly recognized for their critical role in supporting a diverse suite of birds, plants, pollinators, and other taxa. The Klamath ecoregion is a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot, home to one of the world’s most diverse temperate coniferous forests. A patchwork of public and private ownership in the region presents a unique opportunity to directly compare the biodiversity of early seral habitats generated by high severity wildfire, fire followed by salvage logging, and management practices associated with industrial plantation forestry.
Technicians will be involved in data collection on avian, pollinator, carabid beetle, and plant communities and vegetation structure. We are particularly seeking individuals with a high degree of expertise in plant identification or avian point count techniques, ideally in early seral environments and/or in southwest Oregon. Housing will be provided in the town of Myrtle Creek and compensation will range from $13.44 – $19.11 per hour, commensurate with experience. We anticipate a start date of 4/20/20, extending through 8/28/20, though we may be able to accommodate some flexibility in start/end dates on an individual basis.

For full consideration, please apply by January 12, 2020. After this date, we will continue to accept applications until all positions have been filled. Questions can be directed to Graham Frank (graham [dot] frank [at] oregonstate.edu) or Meg Krawchuk (meg [dot] krawchuk [at] oregonstate.edu).
The LCRSG focuses on research in landscape ecology, biogeography, and conservation at scales ranging from local to global, with the specific aim of addressing the causes and consequences of ecological disturbances.

Field Research Internships – Columbian ground squirrels, Canada
Field Research Internships – Columbian ground squirrels Department of Biology University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, SK, Canada S7N 5E2.
Internship Description: We are looking for 4 interns interested in taking part in a field ecology project on Columbian ground squirrels. Two interns will begin Apr 12, 2020 and two will begin May 1, 2020 (1 internship will finish on Mid to late June and the other 3 will finish on August 31,2020). As a member of the study, interns will be involved with monitoring the phenology (when animals emerge from hibernation), reproduction and survival of individuals. Fieldwork will involve live-trapping and handling of animals, radio-telemetry, behavioural observation and assistance with the measurement of physiological (metabolism, body composition) traits on free-ranging animals. This is an excellent opportunity to gain training and experience working with a collaborative research team on a long-term study of a wild mammal. All fieldwork is carried out in the spectacular Rocky Mountains of southwestern Alberta, Canada, home to some of the most majestic wildlife in North America.
International applicants: If applicants are not Canadians or permanent residents, there is the opportunity to enter Canada and complete the internship as a Visiting Research Student. To be eligible for this program, you must be an undergraduate or graduate student or be in between degrees (e.g., following graduation from a bachelors degree). As part of this program, applicants will be registered at the U of S in a non-credit activity and it is expected that you will gain a demonstrable educational benefit from being involved. We are particularly interested in applicants who wish to use this opportunity to pursue an independent research project. Applicants are eligible for this program for a maximum of 6 months per 12 month period. Application forms and information are available at https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgrad.usask.ca%2Fadmissions%2Falternateapplicants%2Fvisiting-research-student.php&data=02%7C01%7Cmadeline.hennessey%40uconn.edu%7C8385b30cdfa140fe4eb808d77d5a2bec%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637115698566124651&sdata=acVDeo4HbinoL2aziuxZdyZsuYMwuJKaN4kEvE%2FqGFs%3D&reserved=0.
