Natural Resources Job Board

The USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center is seeking current grad students or recent graduates for several projects on wildlife and vegetation. Researchers may be involved in multiple projects, depending on skills and interests. 

 

Wildlife projects use GPS or VHF tracking data from pronghorn, mule deer, and sage-grouse to map habitat suitability and evaluate responses to energy development and other environmental disturbances. Wildlife researchers will be expected to 1) evaluate animal movement and behavior with GPS data; 2) manipulate large; spatial datasets in a GIS; 3) analyze data (e.g., resource selection functions, survival); and 4) prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals. 

 

Vegetation projects focus on 1) mapping sagebrush and yellow sweet clover across the Northwestern Great Plains to support research on sage-grouse; 2) evaluating datasets for fractional cover of vegetation (e.g., RCMAP, RAP, LandCART), and 3) evaluating vegetation responses to habitat restoration treatments across Montana and Wyoming, particularly for invasive annual grasses in the sagebrush ecosystem. Vegetation mapping involves analyses of imagery from UAVs, traditional aircraft, and satellites to map vegetation at high spatial resolutions across multiple states and years. Research on habitat restoration involves analyses of field survey data and time series of satellite-based data on vegetative cover. Researchers will be expected to 1) manipulate large, spatial datasets in a GIS, 2) analyze data (e.g., mixed models, machine learning algorithms), and 3) prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals. 

 

Positions are open to current students or recent graduates eligible to work as a student contractor (MS or PhD preferred). Graduates that completed their degree within the past year are eligible to work as student contractors. Contracts can cover up to 1 (PhD) or 2 (MS) years of work. Opportunities for subsequent work through other appointments are possible. The start date, work schedule (i.e., full- versus part-time), and work location are negotiable; applicants that can start immediately and work full-time in Bozeman, MT are preferred.    

 

If interested, please send your resume, cover letter, and contact information for 3 or more references to Aaron Johnston at ajohnston@usgs.gov. Alternatively, applications can be mailed to Aaron Johnston, 2327 University Way, Suite 2, Bozeman, MT, 59715, or faxed to (406) 994-7525. Please include your dates of availability and graduation date in the cover letter. Applications will be accepted until positions are filled.

McDuffie Public Fishing Area(PFA) and Warmwater Hatchery

McDuffie PFA and hatchery are situated in mid-east Georgia in the small town of Dearing. While the facility is located in a quiet rural area, it is only half an hour from the larger city of Augusta for greater housing options.

The 570 acre facility is unique in Georgia DNR's system, in that it is the only facility with a combined hatchery, public fishing area, and education center on the same property. Work at this facility encompasses a great deal of diversity, as staff often overlap in tasks on the PFA, hatchery, and/or education center.

The hatchery consists of 31 ponds that annually produce largemouth bass, walleye, striped bass, hybrid bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish, golden shiners, lake chubsuckers, and threadfin shad. The PFA has 7 lakes, totaling just over 100 acres of managed water. Management objectives range from trophy bass, to quality bream, to quality catfishing. In addition to the fishing lakes, the PFA has a campground, an archery range, a dove field, managed long leaf pine and sandhill habitat, and winter waterfowl hunting. This past year the education staff interacted with more than 10,000 people educating them about Georgia's wildlife, aquatic wildlife, invasive species, the diversity of Georgia's habitats, and sustainability issues.
