Vegetation Monitoring Biotechnician

4 months ago

Tucson, United States Tucson Audubon Society Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSalary: 19.50

TUCSON AUDUBON SOCIETY


TITLE: Vegetation Monitoring Biotechnician

DEPARTMENT: Agency Partner (NPS)

FTE STATUS: Full Time

FLSA STATUS: Non-Exempt

POSITION STATUS: Temporary

POSITION TERM: approximately 20 weeks (possibility of extension contingent on funding) 

POSITION LOCATION:Tucson, AZ



SUMMARY:

This project will take place across Tucson-area Pima County property holdings as well as multiple National Park units in southern Arizona, as part of ongoing vegetation monitoring efforts. The chosen incumbent will serve as a biological field technician conducting detailed quantitative vegetation sampling in support of a Pima County, Sonoran Desert Network (National Park Service), and Tucson Audubon Society (TAS) collaboration that addresses connecting people to parks. This position is critical to the completion of the sixth year of monitoring on Pima County lands and NPS units. The incumbent will work as part of a team that will sample over 70 permanent monitoring sites during the 2024 field season, collecting data that will contribute to land managers' knowledge of natural resource condition and trends.



ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

In the field

  • Collect species-level plant data, on all perennial Sonoran Desert plants encountered on plots.
  • Identify plants to species by sight using existing knowledge of the local flora.
  • Identify plants to species using technical floras, plant keys, and other resources.
  • Record data using scientific names and codes.
  • Serve as a crew member, assisting with planning, organization & backcountry logistics.
  • Work as part of a four-to-five person team, effectively communicating and sharing duties.
  • Conduct vegetation line-point intercept and frequency measures, and landscape/soil/biological crust assessments, according to specific protocols/procedures.
  • Collect spatial data using tablets and/or GPS units.
  • Hike extensively off-trail in the rugged backcountry of multiple southern AZ national parks, including Saguaro National Park, Chiricahua National Monument, and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.
  • Incumbent will work in extreme heat (up to I10&degree; F/43&degree; C), monsoonal storms, and very dry and/or cold situations.
  • Carry a backpack weighing up to 50 lbs.
  • Work for 10 hours per day, combining several hours driving and up to 10 kilometers of hiking per day.
  • As part of a team, organize and successfully execute multi-day backpacking trips, including packing personal/work gear and preparing gear for field data collection.

In the office

  • Perform basic data management activities such as scanning data sheets, downloading and renaming photos, filing data, data entry into an Access database, cleaning and organizing equipment, vehicle safety/maintenance checks.
  • Reports salient summaries of completed work using verbal and/or written communications to the SODN ecologist and lead bio-tech.
  • Prepares gear for upcoming backcountry trips


SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITY:  n/a


WORK ENVIRONMENT AND PHYSICAL DEMANDS:

This position is based out of the Sonoran Desert Network offices, located at the very eastern edge of Tucson, AZ (greater population I million +). Tucson has all the amenities typical of a large city, including a wide variety of supermarkets, restaurants and bars, museums, and other entertainment possibilities. Short term housing in Tucson can be readily available and affordable. Nearby outdoor recreational areas such as Coronado National Forest offer high altitude refuge from the summer heat.

The 2024 SODN vegetation crew field season will entail revisiting ~20 monitoring plots in the vicinity of Tucson, as well as traveling to 5 national parks throughout southern AZ for plot revisits. Sampling plots in the local Pima County area will typically entail day trips, while traveling to National Parks will involve backcountry backpacking trips (Saguaro National Park), front country camping (Chiricahua NM, Tonto NM, Organ Pipe Cactus NM and Coronado NM). Given the wide area covered, field work will take place over an elevational gradient ranging from valley bottom creosote flats (- 1,500') to mixed coniferous forest (8,000'+). Field conditions can include excessive heat, monsoonal thunder and lightning storms, and very dry environs. Most hiking to and from plots is off-trail, and will oftentimes involve very steep and unstable terrain, no-shade environments, and bushwhacking through dense vegetation, all while carrying up to 30 lb backpacks.

The Sonoran desert is home to an amazingly diverse variety of flora and fauna, which does include cacti and other armored plants, venomous snakes and reptiles, scorpions, tarantulas, and Africanized bees, which are all encountered with varying degrees of frequency.

Pima County plots, and trips to border parks such as Organ Pipe, Chiricahua, Coronado National Memorial, will find the crew operating on or close to the US/Mexico border. Due to proximity of the international boundary, the possibility exists of encounters with unauthorized border crossers and/or law enforcement response personnel.

 

A combination of education and experience may be considered if it directly relates to the position and supports the ability to successfully perform the job.
