<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are looking for ecologists, botanists, wildlife biologists, and anyone interested in being part of a research team investigating how wildfires
are impacting western forests. This is your opportunity to secure a position for the summer 2023 field season!</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are planning on hiring several crews of 3 people to look at post-fire effects on forest structure, forest regeneration and wildlife response from
mid-May to August 2023. This work will involve the collection of data via vegetation surveys and will be surveying for wildlife via the use of audio recorders and camera traps at remote locations. You will be stationed at one of several recent fires including
the Creek fire (burned: 2020, duty station: Shaver Lake, Sierra NF), August Complex (2020, Willows, Mendocino NF), or Bootleg (2021, Bly or Lakeview, Fremont-Winema NF). Access to survey locations will require use of a 4wd vehicle (provided) and navigation
on foot over rugged terrain including steep slopes, dense vegetation and intermittent streams. Some camping will be required. Housing will not be provided, but low-cost bunk housing may be available.
