Seasonal Field Technician; s

Overview

Tangled Bank Conservation, in partnership with Pheasants Forever and as part of the USDA's Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW) initiative, is seeking two Seasonal Field Technicians to support the development and validation of new standardized aquatic monitoring protocols. These protocols will be used to evaluate conservation outcomes under the Southern Waters Framework (SWF), a large-scale initiative focused on improving aquatic habitat connectivity, biodiversity, and climate resilience across the eastern and central United States.

Field Technicians will conduct aquatic biodiversity monitoring across multiple states, collecting environmental DNA (eDNA) samples and aquatic macroinvertebrate samples from designated watersheds. The data collected through this project will contribute to the development of efficient, scalable monitoring approaches that improve our ability to measure the impacts of conservation practices on aquatic ecosystems. Technicians will work in teams of two.
