This job announcement for someone capable of performing database maintenance
and data analysis, along with a few other duties, just appeared on ECOLOG-L. I
always greatly enjoy the requirements sections of these job announcements:
=======================================
Job Description: Field Scientist/Coordinator – The A.R.M. Loxahatchee
National Wildlife Refuge in Boynton Beach, FL is seeking a field scientist
to fill a full time, 2-year position with multiple project duties.
Specifically, we are looking for someone to:
- help coordinate field aspects of a water quality monitoring program
- contribute to the development and implementation of new ecological
studies of water quality on our soft-water wetland ecosystem
- collect and analyze environmental and biological data, with
appropriate database maintenance
- work with other Refuge technical staff in data analysis and report
preparation
Applicants may be required to work long and unpredictable hours alone, in
the sometimes-harsh environment of South Florida (e.g., heat and humidity,
intense sun exposure, sampling from airboats and helicopters, exposure to
myriad biting insects including mosquitoes and flies), capable of working
in close proximity to alligators and snakes, and tolerate project mishaps
like broken boats/vehicles and schedule cancellations because of weather
with good humor.
Qualifications: M.S. with a background in wetland ecology (or similar work
experience), experience with small boats, operating vehicles with trailers,
heavy lifting, standard computer skills, valid driver’s license, strong
work ethic, and ability to work well with others, as well as spend time in
the field alone. Responsible, mature individuals who have experience
organizing and supervising field crews is highly desirable. B.S.
background with strong credentials will also be considered.
