Job Description and Duties

We are searching for candidates to fill one Fish and Wildlife Scientific Aid position on the Central Valley Angler Survey in its Chico field office. This position is part of a team estimating sport fishing effort, catch, and harvest of Chinook Salmon and other anadromous sport fish in the Central Valley. Under the lead and direction of an Environmental Scientist, incumbents will operate motor vehicles, jet powered and drift boats, and kayaks, and perform surveys on foot, to count and contact anglers on the Sacramento River system, including the Feather and Yuba rivers.

Following an established protocol, incumbent will interview anglers to collect field data on angling effort, catch, and harvest of anadromous sport fishes; identify and enumerate fish species in the angler catch; collect and record angler and biological data; collect heads from adipose fin-clipped Chinook Salmon for recovery of coded-wire tags; collect scale and genetic tissue samples from Chinook Salmon for age and stock identification assessments; and check completed data forms and biological samples and submit them to the Environmental Scientist serving as project lead.

Incumbent will also assist the Environmental Scientist with QA/QC of incoming field data and associated biological samples; enter data into an established relational database; and assist in the development of information on angling effort, catch, and harvest in Central Valley river sport fisheries.

In addition, incumbent will maintain records on vehicle and boat use, and assist in the maintenance and repair of field gear, vehicles, boats, and facilities used to conduct the angler survey.

This position may be eligible for a telework opportunity in accordance with departmental policies and operational needs. Beginning July 1, 2026, employees will be required to work in-person at least four (4) days per week in alignment with Executive Order N-22-25. Additional in-office days may be required based on operational needs.

The language below is required for these NT classifications.

Applicants may obtain verification from the CalWORKs program. If CalWORKs verification is not submitted with the application, it will not be processed as CalWORKs eligible.

Participation by a public assistance recipient is voluntary and in no event shall any person be subject to sanctions, through loss of benefits or eligibility, for not applying for, accepting, or continuing in a seasonal or entry level non-testing classification opening.
