Description
Five Oaks Graduate Certificate Program in Waterfowl & Wetland Management

University of Arkansas–Monticello | 2026–2027 Academic Year

We are excited to announce recruitment for the sixth year of the Five Oaks Graduate Certificate Program through the University of Arkansas–Monticello. This competitive program is designed for motivated students pursuing careers in waterfowl and wetland management within governmental agencies, conservation organizations, and private lands.

The Graduate Certificate Program consists of two semesters (18 credit hours) and includes a $20,000 scholarship. For the 2026–2027 academic year, four students will be selected, with a mid-August 2026 start date.

Selected applicants will be invited to a 3-day interview event at Five Oaks in Humphrey, Arkansas, held in March 2026.

Students in the program spend the majority of their time working and learning on Five Oaks properties, gaining hands-on experience alongside professional land managers and conservation partners. The curriculum bridges the gap between the ecological foundations provided by undergraduate programs and the practical, on-the-ground management skills required for successful careers in waterfowl and wetland management.

We are proud of the continued growth of this program and the exceptional quality of students we have worked with to date.

Ideal Applicants

Successful applicants will:

  • Hold a bachelor’s degree

  • Demonstrate a strong passion for waterfowl and wetland management

  • Be self-motivated, hard-working, and capable of independent fieldwork

Location:
Little Cumberland Island (Cumberland Island National Seashore, Georgia)
Description
The Little Cumberland Sea Turtle Project was initiated in 1964 and is one of the two oldest, continuously running, Loggerhead turtle nest monitoring projects in the world. Our research contributes to important long-term population studies and management of nesting sea turtles (primarily Loggerhead along with possible Green, Kemp’s Ridley, and Leatherback).  Individual female nesting turtles are identified using a genetic sample from each nest, obtained during early morning beach surveys.  The Little Cumberland Island Sea Turtle Project works closely with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR).  
 
In addition, Little Cumberland Island (LCI) is internationally recognized as part of a “landscape of hemispheric importance” for shorebirds.  During dawn turtle patrols, the technician will encounter nesting shorebirds/seabirds (e.g., threatened Wilson’s Plovers, Least Terns, and possible American Oystercatchers), as well as migratory birds of considerable interest (e.g., Red Knots, Whimbrels) and the employee is encouraged to record sightings on a regular basis, and maintain a running record of nesting shorebird activity.
 
The successful candidate will work for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and will coordinate work schedules and basic logistics with the director of the LCI Sea Turtle Project.
 
This is a seasonal position lasting 5 months, nominally 29 hours/week. Sea turtle nest surveys are conducted every morning at dawn, including weekends.  Because the number of LCI sea turtle nests is relatively small (range of 75-110 depending on the year) there may be days when no new sea turtle nesting activity is observed.  Many days, turtle nest surveys will require less than 4 hours/day, whereas occasional days may include multiple nesting turtles that may require over 4 hours/day. 
 
Work is performed in isolated and occasionally difficult field conditions.  Prior turtle experience is suggested but not required, as you will be working on your own much of the time. In the field problem solving is required. Occasional paid days off can be arranged in advance with the Project Director and DNR staff, however, during peak turtle nesting season (typically between mid-June and late July) it is understood that the technician will be responsible for contributing to daily duties.
 
Housing is provided and consists of a furnished, private, 1-bedroom cottage.  Once a week transportation to and from the island is provided for shopping.  Technician transportation on the island is either via a Kawasaki Mule or on foot.  

 
RESPONSIBILITIES AND STANDARDS: 
 
Under general supervision, monitor and protect sea turtle nests and beach nesting birds on a remote barrier island beach. 
a)     Conduct daily dawn beach surveys to assess sea turtle and beach nesting bird activity.  Locate, mark, and protect sea turtle nests with plastic screening.  Monitor nests throughout the nesting season for signs of depredation.  
b)    Collect a genetic sample from each sea turtle nest for subsequent individual maternal DNA identification. 
c)     Relocate sea turtle nests threatened with tidal inundation. 
d)    Following the emergence of sea turtle hatchlings, excavate nests and conduct a hatching success evaluation. 
e)     Noting beach nesting bird activity and enter shorebird observation data electronically via eBird (ebird.org) is encouraged.  Maintain a running record of nesting shorebird activity. 
f)     Enter sea turtle nesting and hatching data daily in on-line database management system (seaturtle.org). 
g)    Submit a final report summarizing annual nesting information. 
 
Monitor beaches for stranded marine mammals and sea turtles. 
a)     Conduct daily beach surveys to locate sea turtle strandings. 
b)    Conduct post-mortem exams on possible stranded sea turtles and record information for the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network. 
 
Interact with and help educate Little Cumberland Island members, families and guests. 
a)     Write periodic project updates (brief and informal) during the season to be distributed to the membership. 
b)    Manage interested members, families and guests who may occasionally request to accompany daily surveys. 
 
Additional responsibilities. 
a)     Adhere to established rules of the Little Cumberland Island Association and work with island staff. 
b)    Maintain assigned equipment and paint nesting stakes at end of the season. 
c)     Conduct daily thorough cleaning of the Kawasaki mule. 

 
QUALIFICATIONS: 
 
Candidates must have the following: 
a)      Knowledge of general biology and biological data collection techniques and experience with computer databases. 
b)      Prior sea turtle experience preferred but not required. 
c)       Bird identification skills and familiarity with eBird data submission is encouraged. 
d)      A valid driver's license. 
e)      Accurate data recording skills. 
f)       Self-motivation and an independent work ethic. Not missing morning patrols is crucial to the integrity of the data. 
g)      Comfortable working alone and ability to problem solve. 
h)      Ability to deal with warm humid temperatures and summer insects 
i)       Owning a personal cell phone and lap-top computer is required for data collection. 
 
 
OTHER INFORMATION: 
 
Little Cumberland Island, just north of Cumberland Island, is considered one of the most pristine of the Southeastern US barrier islands.  The interior of the island is largely maritime oak and pine forest.  The island is somewhat remote, largely undeveloped, privately owned, but is officially within the boundary of the Cumberland Island National Seashore.  The successful applicant will likely have a great deal of time to his or herself to pursue personal interests.  Although there are plenty of picture postcard days, coastal humidity is high in the summer, and afternoon temperatures hover in the 80–90-degree range. Georgia barrier islands can be buggy, the work is physically demanding, and it is anticipated that certain areas of the beach will require patrolling on foot.  Persons are under employment of the Georgia DNR are subject to a required background check.  This position provides an excellent opportunity to conduct meaningful biological field studies and management and has been considered a significant life experience by many of the 60 years’ worth of prior Little Cumberland Island technician-naturalists. 
 
Application Submission: A cover letter, resume, and complete contact info (including phone numbers) for at least 3 references must be submitted no later than January 31, 2026.  Review of all applications and consultation with selected references will begin immediately thereafter and applicants will subsequently be notified of acceptance ASAP after the job application closing date and application reviews are completed.  Please send cover letter, resume and references as one document that is compatible with Microsoft Word.  Please confirm availability regarding posted start and end dates.
