Positions Available
Full-time Summer Biotechs
National Park Service
Fairbanks, Alaska
Application Deadline: Friday, 21 April 2006
The National Park Service in Fairbanks, Alaska is looking to fill three
full-time summer biotech positions. Only students registered at a
university for the coming semester (summer or fall) are eligible to
apply. The incumbents will conduct field work, expedite field crews,
and/or help with data entry for the Arctic Network Inventory and
Monitoring Program in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Two of the positions are stationed in Fairbanks and include field work
in five of the nations most pristine parks, encompassing over 20 million
acres in northern Alaska: Noatak National Preserve, Bering Land Bridge
National Preserve, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Cape
Krusenstern National Monument, and Kobuk Valley National Park. These
positions will assist park biologists with large mammal, bird, aquatic,
and/or vegetation surveys. Field work may be conducted in extremely
remote areas accessible only by float plane, boat, and/or helicopter.
Field work may be conducted in harsh conditions for long periods of
time. These positions also require a significant amount of sedentary
work such as tabular and spatial data entry and mining of ecological
data.
The third position will be based in Fairbanks and will serve as an
expeditor for field crews. The incumbent will help field crews prepare
for the field and help with logistics and planning. Knowledge of Alaska
plants and animals and experience with databases (Microsoft Excel,
Access, or Sequel Server) are a plus.
The salary range for all positions is from $15.09-$18.69 USD per hour,
plus $25 per day for per diem when conducting field work. Salary is
based on experience. Travel to and from Fairbanks can not be paid for
these positions.
