Wildlife Technician_Peery
Job Description
Job Summary:One field technician is needed to conduct field work for a bioacoustics research project at survey sites throughout Humboldt County, CA. This monitoring program will use autonomous recording units (ARUs) to survey for marbled murrelets, an endangered species of seabird that nests in coastal old-growth stands.
The research project focuses on developing a novel acoustic protocol for monitoring marbled murrelets that can be widely used by public land managers and private landowners. This cryptic species is difficult and thus labor-intensive to detect through typical survey methods, so the project aims to develop cost-effective and accurate means for detecting murrelets through passive acoustic monitoring.
