Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks is seeking one GS-7 biological
science technician position (fisheries/aquatics) for a permanent
career-seasonal position with the National Park Service.



This position serves as the lead field technician and data manager for the
Aquatic Ecosystems Program and plays a key role in implementing a
long-term project to restore endangered and other native species in high
elevation aquatic ecosystems, as well as various other priority
projects.  This position will start as soon as possible and will be
stationed at the Ash Mountain Headquarters in Sequoia National Park.

The (lead) Biological Science Technician primarily assists the SEKI Aquatic
Ecologist with implementation and management of aquatic ecosystem projects,
including but not limited to restoration of high lake basin habitat,
recovery efforts for two species of endangered mountain yellow-legged
frogs, and the threatened Yosemite toad and Little Kern golden trout;
monitoring of lakes, streams, amphibians, fish, and other aquatic biota;
and facilitating scientific research. The incumbent will assist the Aquatic
Ecologist with 1) recruiting personnel for field crews, 2) managing
logistics in preparation for fieldwork, 3) providing supervision,
orientation, training and mentoring for field crews, 4) overseeing field
operations, 5) managing aquatic datasets, and 6) providing logistic and
field support to the parks’ Inventory and Monitoring Program and to
scientific research studies being conducted in SEKI. Other duties include
conducting electronic entry, quality assurance/quality control and summary
reporting of field data, and organizing and maintaining field equipment and
supplies. Work will occur throughout SEKI, and will entail cooperation with
other agencies, organizations, and cooperators. The incumbent will be
supervised by the Aquatic Ecologist, will supervise temporary staff and
function as crew leader for field crews, and will occasionally work with
other division staff. The position will require extensive wilderness travel
within SEKI, and occasional travel to meetings and/or trainings. Possession
of a valid driver’s license is required.

To express interest in this position or if you have questions about it,
please contact Danny Boiano, Supervisory Ecologist at danny_boiano at nps.gov
