Title: Indiana bat technician

Location: Near Greeneville, TN

Job Description: Indiana State University is looking to hire 1 technician to work on an Indiana bat presence study on the North Cherokee National Forest. The focus of this study is to compare the efficacy of acoustic data, GIS models, and traditional mist netting survey methods for predicting the presence of Indiana bats.  The successful applicant will be working with a lead technician and a graduate student to conduct acoustic surveys during the day and mist netting at night, with the potential for radio telemetry and emergence counts if Indiana bats are found. Additional duties will include data entry, gear maintenance and decontamination following white-nose protocols, and various other tasks.  The position will start mid-May and run to mid-August.  The successful candidate will get to work with a federally endangered species and obtain experience in multiple bat survey methods while learning bat ID and handling experience. As noted there is the potential to gain telemetry experience in the mountains.

Qualifications: The successful candidate will need to be able to work independently and as part of a group and enjoy working in a remote location away from internet and cell phone service.  Must be willing to work varied daily schedules, often long hours (> 10 hr days).  Must be comfortable in a rugged forest environment, with the majority of the hiking off trail in rhododendron, poison ivy, and chigger inhabited areas while carrying heavy packs up to 40 pounds for long periods of time in hot and humid conditions. The candidate must be comfortable being in the woods at night with a partner.  Preference will be given to those who are competent in navigation using map and compass, GPS, data recording, and mountain telemetry. Applicants must have a clean driving record in order to obtain a Forest Service driver's license.  Preference will be given to those who already have their rabies vaccine, but the vaccine series can be provided to an outstanding candidate who is willing to travel to Indiana State University.

Salary: $400/wk for 12 weeks with housing provided

Deadline: February 28, 2013 or until filled.

Application process: We will begin interviews as soon as potential candidates are identified.  Please email a cover letter, resume, and three references as one word or pdf document to appalachian.myso at gmail.com<mailto:appalachian.myso at gmail.com> with "MYSO technician" as the subject line.
