1) Summer technician based in Fairbanks, Alaska: We are recruiting an undergraduate student (or recent graduate) to assist with data collection on a collaborative project investigating microbial and biogeochemical indicators of permafrost thaw. Primary responsibilities will be helping to deploy and maintain a network of instream sensors collecting high-frequency observations of stream chemistry. The technician will also assist members of the collaborative team with measuring gas and VOC emissions from soils, microbial sampling, and soil coring. Will require ~2-3 weeks of remote work (possible camping and/or stay at Toolik Field Station and other remote camps) for synoptic sampling of large number of sites. Contact Dr. Tamara Harms (tharms at ucr.edu) with a brief description of your interests and experience, available dates, and CV by Mar 5.

2) Seasonal technician based in Fairbanks, Alaska: The Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research Program is recruiting a seasonal technician (~Apr-Oct) to assist with long-term data collection in the boreal forest. We're looking for someone with a good grasp of boreal tree species (or previous experience with plant identification), a high level of physical fitness for navigating rugged terrain, and a positive attitude even during long days in various weather conditions. Camping in the backcountry is part of the gig, so experience in that area is a plus. We need someone who can follow instructions, work both independently and as part of a team, and take responsibility for collecting top-notch data. The technician will also lead deployment and maintenance of a telemetered network of instream sensors measuring stream chemistry. This requires previous experience or commitment to learning how to calibrate and maintain instream sensors, operate telemetry equipment and dataloggers, and use existing computer code. Before joining our team, candidates are required to provide proof of a valid driver's license. Additionally, we're looking for individuals with either educational qualifications or practical field experience in ecology, biology, or natural resources.
