Description: The Institute for Wildlife Studies (IWS) is seeking highly motivated applicants for a Predator Biologist position on San Clemente Island, California. This is a full-time position beginning in April 2025. The main function of the project is helping to protect federally listed species on the island. This also includes helping to develop and test new and innovative methods to manage invasive species. 

 

Primary duties of this position include, but are not limited to: 

1.Lethal control of non-native predators (feral cats and black rats) and non-lethal management of native predators (island foxes) 

2.Nighttime hunting of predators, by vehicle and on foot

SCI is owned and operated by the U.S. Navy as a training facility, and personnel will be required to follow established military protocols and rules including keeping a clean and organized work and living space. 

  

Applicants should enjoy living as part of a small research community in a busy field station, interacting with biologists working on other projects, assisting on research projects to develop improved methods of protecting endangered species, and working with military personnel and members of other organizations who may have varying missions, opinions, and personalities. Additionally, applicants must be willing to participate in the day-to-day upkeep of a field station including cleaning work vehicles and shared kitchen/office space. Employees work 10 days on island, and then take 4 off (off island). All employment offers are contingent on the insurability of the applicant by IWS, and applicants will be asked to provide information to verify their driving record. In addition, IWS will conduct a pre-hire background check and the Navy will perform a post-hire background check before issuing a base access credential. Additional information regarding IWS research on SCI is available on the IWS website (www.iws.org). Note: No pets are allowed on SCI. 

 

Hours and Compensation: The work schedule is 10 days on San Clemente Island, and 4 days off-island. Compensation is based on an hourly rate of $19.80/hr, however, scheduled overtime results in average gross earnings of approximately $4,300 per month. In addition, room and board will be provided while working on the island; off-island housing during days off is not provided. A daily food reimbursement of $12.50/day (~$270 per month) is also provided while on island to supplement food provided by the Navy. Flights on and off the island are provided at no cost. Benefits include employer-paid health insurance, sick leave, paid vacation, paid holidays, and an optional 403(b) retirement plan. 

 

Qualifications: Required Qualifications: Candidates should have a B.S. or more advanced degree in Wildlife Management or a related field. Candidates must have extensive experience in the safe use of firearms which includes hunting experience. Safety is of utmost importance to the Navy and IWS. Please do not apply if you lack hunting experience. Candidates should be familiar with the safe operation of various hand and power tools. Experience operating ATV's and full-sized, 4-wheel-drive trucks over rocky and muddy roads is required. Employment is conditional upon insurability with IWS, so a clean driving record is essential. This position requires considerable hiking, including hauling materials and equipment to and from remote sites of up to 40 lbs. Applicants should be sure-footed, safe, and be comfortable hiking long distances in steep, rocky, cactus-covered terrain. Experience using trail cameras is desirable. The Predator Biologist will need to maintain a professional attitude at all times while working with Institute staff and members of other organizations including San Diego State University, San Diego Zoo, and the U.S. Navy who may have varying missions, opinions, and personalities. 

 

Additional Preferred Experience/Qualifications: Experience with R and/or GIS software (i.e., ArcGIS, QGIS), pesticide applicator certification, ATV Safety Institute rider course completion and current rabies vaccination are desirable.  

 

Application Procedure: Submit current resume and a cover letter, as a single PDF file, highlighting your experience with weapons and safe firearm usage and any predator management experience. Provide the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of at least three (3) professional references. No phone inquiries, so please email documents to Hunter Cole at (predatorjobs@iws.org) with the subject line “SCI Predator Biologist Application”.  

 

Applications will be reviewed as they are received and the position will be filled as soon as a qualified applicant is identified. Application deadline is March 17, 2025; however, applications will be reviewed as they are received so we encourage interested parties to apply promptly. Ideally, qualified applicants will be identified during March of 2025, and the selected candidates should be eligible to begin work in April 2025. However, for a well-qualified candidate the start date may be negotiable.
