GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The Field Biologist will participate in the collection of field and technical information as directed by Natural Resources Department (NRD) and Tribal Policy staff.

To that end, the Field Biologist will conduct and assist with Treaty salmon and shellfish harvest monitoring, salmonid escapement surveys, water quality monitoring, research projects, and habitat monitoring activities. Fish collection and sampling techniques, including but not limited to gill, tangle, and fyke netting, backpack electrofishing, and screw/weir trapping, are key to this position. The Field Biologist will assist with water quality monitoring, physical stream surveys, and biological sampling aimed at evaluating productivity potential, limiting factors, salmon recovery goals, and other questions in support of the Tribe’s treaty rights.

Surveys often occur in remote settings requiring travel through rugged terrain. A demonstrated working experience with boats in marine, river, and lake applications is necessary. The candidate will process biological samples, enter data, maintain responsibility for data quality assurance and control, and participate in report writing. The position will support other NRD activities as needed including the harvest and disbursement of wildlife, shellfish, and salmon for the Tribal community.
