Audubon Consultancy - Chihuahuan Desert Grasslands and Gulf of Mexico
Pronatura Noreste and National Audubon Society (NAS) are joining forces to work at scale on conservation efforts in the Chihuahuan Desert Grasslands and Gulf of Mexico Coastal ecosystems shared by Mexico and United States. As a first step together they are developing a 5-year comprehensive strategic plan that can guide a unified approach, help identify and partner with other key strategic actors, optimize opportunities and address the conservation challenges to working in these areas.
Given both organizations’ institutional focuses and coverage of these vital ecosystems and their complementary conservation approaches and philosophies, together they are well positioned to work in a unified manner and have a potential for greater conservation success. The plans will help guide them to reach the scale of conservation needed by acting jointly across these vast and highly threatened ecosystems and to achieve the results that can improve their ecological health and better support migratory and resident birds and other biodiversity that these regions are home to.
To accomplish this, the National Audubon Society seeks a contractor to lead the following:
• Evaluate significant conservation investments ($100,000 and up) carried out in Chihuahua grasslands and Laguna Madre wetlands regions over the last 10 years to identify gaps, opportunities, clear strategies and next steps that can help achieve greater conservation results at scale across both ecosystems;
• Through the process, help build a unified team and approach to optimize both organizations capacities and potential by evaluating needs and opportunities and finding innovative and strategic ways to advance the conservation agenda of both organizations working together; and

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has a vacancy for a marine biologist/zoological field assistant to work at the applied fisheries research laboratory at King Edward Point (KEP)
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has a vacancy for a marine biologist/zoological field assistant to work at the applied fisheries research laboratory at King Edward Point (KEP) (www.antarctica.ac.uk/Living/Stations/South_Georgia.html) on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. The successful candidate will assist with the laboratory and field-based research programme undertaken by BAS on behalf of the Government of South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands (GSGSSI) (www.sgisland.org). He/she will be required to carry out fieldwork in support of a recently established monitoring programme close to KEP focussing on the monitoring of colonies of Antarctic furseals and gentoo penguins. The post requires the candidate to spend periods at sea on fishing vessels in order to carry out at-sea observations on vertebrate predator distribution and to collect samples and data from the commercial fishery. To be eligible, candidates must be proficient in handling wild animals (preferably penguins or seals) appropriate to the work described. Advanced animal handling training will be provided. The jobholder should be aware that fur seals, when breeding at South Georgia, are numerous and territorial (aggressive).
In addition to fieldwork the successful candidate will be expected to carry out laboratory based studies. These will include analysing bycatch specimens and data from the commercial krill fishery in addition to carrying out dietary analyses of fur seals . It will also be a requirement to assist with the collection of diet, reproductive, growth and distribution data collected from research cruises and the near-shore sampling programme conducted by the marine fisheries assistant at KEP.
The applied fisheries research laboratory at King Edward Point, South Georgia opened in March 2001 following the departure of the military garrison from the island. The station boasts well-equipped analytical and wet laboratories, a scientific library, modern computer facilities linked to the BAS headquarters in Cambridge and a controlled temperature facility for holding live specimens. A high quality, accommodation block provides comfortable living conditions for the personnel on station. Over winter the station has a BAS complement of eight: - two scientists and five support staff including a doctor. The station personnel also provide logistical support for the GSGSSI Marine Officer and the South Georgia Museum located at the abandoned whaling station at Grytviken.
Qualifications: Qualifications: A minimum of a science degree in a relevant subject, experience of remote, unsupervised fieldwork and appropriate animal handling skills (i.e. of wild animals in their natural habitat) are essential requirements. Applicants must also be confident entering, managing, analysing and reporting data (and posses some basic awareness of databases). Good time management, attention to detail, effective communication and the ability to learn quickly are all important skills. Candidates should also be able to mix well in a small and remote yet enthusiastic and vibrant science community. Previous experience of small-boat handling, working at sea and an interest in fisheries management is desirable. Candidates should be physically capable and medically fit to work at sea in Antarctic conditions.
Duration: The post is based at South Georgia and is a fixed term appointment of 15 -27 months (with 2-3 months in the UK prior to departure in November 2014 (approx.). You will work closely with the marine fisheries assistant at KEP and report to the science manager at BAS, Cambridge. The post offers a challenging opportunity for a highly self-motivated individual to work in an isolated environment in the sub Antarctic. But it is important candidates recognise that there is no provision for “shore leave” until the end of the contract. However communications with the outside world are excellent (by e-mail) whilst postal delivery is facilitated by regular ship visits.
Salary: £23,937 per annum, rising annually. Additionally, upon completion of a successful tour, you will receive a 10% bonus. BAS provides all training required, outdoor and work clothing, tools, and accommodation (whilst in the Antarctic).
The post is for UK passport holders only due to the UKFCO/CCAMLR requirements for marine observers.

PhD student position: Effects of ecological restoration on bird assemblages in northern forests
PhD student position: Effects of ecological restoration on bird assemblages in northern forestsDue to negative effects of past land use on biodiversity, there is a growing recognition that successful biodiversity conservation will often necessitate restoration of ecosystems. In the boreal and hemiboreal biomes, little is known about the ecological effects of emerging forest restoration measures. This PhD project aims to quantify the effects of forest restoration on northern bird assemblages, with a focus on resident species of particular conservation concern (e.g. red-listed Picidae and declining Paridae). It builds on large-scale field experiments designed in collaboration with practitioners to evaluate restoration methods that are relevant to forest set-asides (gap creation, prescribed burning, conifer removal and active dead wood creation). The tasks will include, among others, planning and performing fieldwork in forest, analyzing data, writing scientific manuscripts, taking doctoral courses, and presenting the work at seminars and conferences.
The PhD student will work in a dynamic research environment as part of the Forest BIOCORE research group at the Dept. of Wildlife, Fish, and Environmental Studies (www.slu.se/wfe/biocore and http://phdatvfm.weebly.com/). The position is based in Umeå, the largest town in northern Sweden with approx. 117,000 inhabitants and two universities, a high standard of living, and good flight connections to Stockholm. This is a four-year position with a starting salary of approx. SEK 23,500 per month and social benefits. There are no tuition fees.
Qualifications:
We seek a highly motivated candidate having an MSc degree or the equivalent in biology, forestry, or other areas of natural resource management, preferably with a specialization in ecology or conservation. Knowledge of avian ecology, field ornithology, forest management, and statistical methods is advantageous, as is an interest in pursuing a career in academia. Proven excellence in written and spoken English is essential and a driver’s license is required. The candidate is expected to be capable and willing to take initiative and work independently as well as in a team.
Your application should include a CV, a short text describing your suitability for the position and explaining why you are interested, copies of degree certificates and transcripts (university level), a copy of your MSc or BSc thesis and of relevant scientific articles/reports (if any), and contact information of at least two reference persons.

2 PhD Assistant
PhD assistantship 1)
We are looking for a PhD graduate research assistant in the Department of Forestry at the University of Missouri to model effects of fuels treatments on reduction of fire risk and restoration of oak-pine forests in Central Hardwood Forest landscapes. This position will be part of a team consisting of Drs. Hong He, Ben Knapp, and Brice Hanberry (Forestry), and Dr. John Kabrick (US Forest Service Northern Research Station) for a project funded by the Joint Fire Science Program.
The objective of the project is to determine how strategic landscape placement of fuels treatments can limit the severity of large wildfires to minimize fire risk and maximize ecological restoration of oak and pine forests and woodlands. We will use field-based studies from multiple prescribed burn plots to quantify the effects of fuels treatments on forest composition and structure and to parameterize and validate FVS-FFE and LANDIS PRO. We then will answer four questions through simulation of the following scenarios: 1) How does the amount and configuration of fuels treatments across landscapes influence intensity, rate of spread, or patterns of severity for subsequent large wildfires?, 2) How does fire risk vary with characteristics of fuels treatments, climatic variables, and environmental conditions?, 3) What landscape fuels treatment strategies are most effective at reaching restoration objectives for forest structure and composition?, and 4) How can landscape fuels treatment strategies maintain effectiveness over the short-term (<20 and="" br="" long-term="" mid-term="" years="">
PhD assistantship 2)
We are looking for a PhD graduate research assistant in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Missouri to work on a project Forecasting Landscape Change under Savannah and Woodland Restoration in Mixed Forest Ownerships. The candidate will test the applicability of LANDIS-PRO forest landscape model for analysis of forest planning alternatives, using the new forest-level data sets that were developed to support carbon assessments. In particular, these data sets capture the history of landscape-scale disturbances (harvesting, fire, insects, etc.) for each forest, as well as many other attributes both spatial and non-spatial, establishing a basis for modeling the possible future trajectories of outcomes of forest plans given the initial stand conditions and probabilities of future disturbances. The results of the LANDIS-PRO simulations will be compared with the results of other models (both empirical and process-based) on vegetation structure and carbon stocks. This modeling study will be done on a national forest to be selected as the study planning progresses.
This position will be part of a team consisting of Drs. Hong He, Drs. Stephen Shifley and Richard Birdsey (US Forest Service Northern Research Station).
Contact Information:
Qualified applicants will have knowledge and skills in modeling programs such as LANDIS and computer programming skills (i.e. R, SAS, Python), as well as knowledge of forest ecology. Position start date is August 2014. Review of applications begins immediately and continues until the positions are filled. Applicants should have a M.S. in forestry, ecology, biology, geography or a closely related discipline, a GPA > 3.2, and combined verbal and quantitative GRE scores > 1100.
Please submit an application including 1) a cover letter describing your interest and experience in these areas, 2) a resume, and 3) names and contact information of three references, 4) copies of transcripts and GRE scores (unofficial at this time are acceptable).

Program Basics
The Gulf Islands National Seashore is recruiting 4 “Service Interns” as part of their Youth Ambassador Civic Leadership program. Service Interns will work with park staff to develop three half-day citizen science/ stewardship programs for local high school students to engage in park research/monitoring, discover new recreational activities, and participate in a wilderness overnight camp-out. The Interns, as a group will use their experience working front line interpretive operations and programming to plan and develop a new citizen science project, stewardship program, and one discover recreational activity project by the end of the program. At least once per year, the Florida based interns will travel to Mississippi and spend one week working in MS, while the Mississippi based students will spend one week working in Florida. This swap will allow the students to expand their horizons by working in another district of the park. The project also includes two employability skills workshops (resume writing with a focus on the usajob.gov format and interview skills). Each intern will be responsible for developing a short interpretive program focused on natural or cultural resources and why it is important for others to preserve, conserve, and protect these resources.
The Interns will develop and present a talk summarizing their experience as youth ambassadors at a professional conference, symposia, or park based venue.
