Summer Field Technician
Job Description:
The field technician will be working for the fRI Caribou Program in collaboration with the Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Partnership as part of a project focused on advancing silviculture practices to allow for high fibre volume harvest in caribou ranges while improving the ability of harvested stands to become future caribou habitat. 2021 is the first year of a three year project investigating specific vegetation and habitat characteristics that caribou select for in both natural and anthropogenic disturbances (i.e., burned and harvested areas).
The field technician will carry out fieldwork aimed at assessing habitat characteristics of areas used by caribou. The main tasks will involve classifying forest stand characteristics, identifying vegetation species, recording wildlife sign, and installing and maintaining remote cameras. Additional duties will involve data entry, working with various software programs for data management, and field equipment maintenance.
