Seasonal FY25-Biological Science Technician (Wildlife), GS-0404-07<\/a><\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

FWS, Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge is recruiting one biological science technician to assist with biological program and visitor services projects during the 2026 field season. Refuge biological projects may include: ground-based bear, mountain goat, deer, or habitat surveys; remote monitoring of bears; water\/air\/soil temperature collection; invasive species management; and a small amount of aerial bear survey work. The technician may also assist other programs (visitor services, maintenance) for up to 6 weeks during their season. Visitor services\/maintenance work primarily includes engaging with the public at the Refuge Visitor Center or on the Refuge, and public-use cabin maintenance. When not in the field, the incumbent will assist with data processing, entry, management, and reporting. Work distribution is expected to be approximately: 35% data entry, management, and reporting; 30% on-the ground monitoring and management; 20% assisting other programs; 10% aerial surveys; 5% training.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kodiak Refuge headquarters office, where you will be based and spend most of your time, is located in the town of Kodiak, AK. In town, a FWS bunkhouse is available with shared rooms for rent for the season (~$300\/pay period). A shared government vehicle is also available for limited personal use in your off time.<\/p>\n

Your work on the refuge is accessed by small airplane and boat or hiking. Work on the refuge will require staying in remote cabins or tents for a week at a time throughout the summer, potentially without cell\/internet connectivity. Hiking will be with a pack over uneven terrain, in dense vegetation, in challenging weather and conditions (rain, wind, mosquitoes). The ability to work a flexible schedule, maintain a positive, team-oriented attitude, and carry a FWS shotgun are required. Field gear will be supplied.<\/p>\n

Please note that the USAJobs announcement for this position is a generalized posting for multiple positions\/locations across Alaska and the above information best reflects the duties of the position being offered by Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.<\/p>\n
