Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge is recruiting up to 14 Biological Science Technician (avian) positions for the summer of 2026 to assist with our seabird monitoring program. This is a unique opportunity to experience a wildlife refuge that spans much of the coastline of Alaska, covers nearly 3.4 million acres, and provides essential habitat for some 30 million seabirds, hundreds of thousands of marine mammals, and numerous plant and animal species found only in Alaska.<\/p>\n

Technicians will spend multiple (3-4) months in remote field camps and\/or on the Refuge\u2019s research vessel. Positions will start in late April or early May and end in September. Technicians perform a variety of scientific and technical tasks to assist in a long-term seabird monitoring program. Species being studied differ by location but may include storm-petrels, cormorants, kittiwakes, murres, pigeon guillemots, auklets, and puffins. The fieldwork is varied but focused on collecting data on seabird breeding chronology, reproductive success, population changes, adult survival, and food habits.<\/p>\n

Technicians work as part of a field crew consisting of 2-3 individuals. The work is conducted at remote field camps spread across the Refuge, where wet and windy weather conditions are the norm. We will be placing crews on several of our islands in 2026 including Aiktak, Buldir, Chowiet, St. George, St. Lazaria, and St. Paul.\u00a0 The application window will be open 11\/17 – 11\/21.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
