Position Announcement: Ecological Research Technicians

The S.M. Stoller Corp. Environmental, Surveillance, Education, and Research Program at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has positions available for students to work as paid technicians collecting and managing data on multiple ecological research projects funded by the Department of Energy (DOE). Much of the field work will be collecting data to support a vegetation community classification and mapping project.

The positions are temporary, full-time for the 2008 field season (late May to mid-August). Anticipated start date is May 27. Employment end dates are flexible based on the end and start dates of university classes. The primary work location will be at the INL, located 45 miles west of Idaho Falls. The close proximity of Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Craters of the Moon National Parks, as well as great public access to National Forests and BLM lands make for excellent nearby outdoor recreation opportunities.

Qualifications: Applicants must be college undergraduate or Spring 2008 graduates. Preference will be given to students in ecology, biology, range science, wildlife science, environmental science or a related major. Since field crews often work in remote areas of the INL with limited access, candidates must be mature, responsible and able to work with a minimum of supervision.

A cover letter, resume, transcripts and three letters of reference should be sent to:
