Position Summary:
 
This opportunity is well-suited to biological technicians with some professional field work
 
experience who are interested in highly independent work, amphibian conservation and
 
road ecology, and working closely with a group of volunteers over several field seasons
 
(spring, summer, fall). The data collected on this project will support Acadia National
 
Park&rsquo;s efforts to reduce amphibian road mortality. Field work collection and analysis will
 
be overseen by a graduate student at the University of Maine.
The technician can expect to work a highly flexible schedule that varies with weather,
 
projects, and roles. See the breakdown below to understand how the technician&rsquo;s time
 
will be spent. Note that the list is not exhaustive and additional projects or tasks may be
 
added as needed, depending on the funding we receive.
<ul><li>25% of time will be spent on volunteer recruitment, training, and management.
</li></ul>The technician will be responsible for planning and conducting training, helping
 
volunteers sign up for shifts and for encouraging and supporting volunteers
 
through frequent communication.
<ul><li>35% of time will be spent on conducting amphibian road crossing surveys. The
</li></ul>majority of these surveys involve walking transects on roads in the park. Two or
 
three surveys will involve driving all paved roads in the park as part of a
 
three-person team. Because of the nature of amphibian movements, work occurs
 
in the dark and in the rain. In the spring, temperatures during outdoor field work
 
may drop below 40 degrees F.
<ul><li>20% of time will be spent assisting Schoodic Institute field staff on a variety of
</li></ul>natural resource-related field work.
</div></div><div><div><ul><li>10% of time will be spent on additional field work in support of amphibian
</li></ul>conservation research at the University of Maine. This may include breeding
 
wetland surveys, calling amphibian surveys, eDNA collection, data management
 
of citizen science datasets, and deployment of amphibian camera traps.
<ul><li>10% of time will be spent on additional outreach and interpretation, with
</li></ul>opportunities to develop science communication projects in a variety of formats,
 
as desired by the technician.
Daily and weekly schedules will vary based on project needs. Night work will be
 
required, with most work concluding by midnight, with the possibility of working until 3
 
am on 2-3 nights over the course of the appointment. Days may be split between some
 
office work during the day followed by evening work after sunset. Longer days will be
 
balanced by shorter workdays within the same week. Some weekend work is expected.
<div>Responsibilities:
<ul><li>Field assignments to include:
</li></ul></div>o Following established, standardized field procedures
 
o Collecting data about amphibian species and age class; this includes
identifying and moving dead (roadkill) amphibians

and word of mouth
o Planning seasonal training workshops for new and returning volunteers,
 
using an established protocol
o Managing volunteers throughout the week by providing updates and
 
encouragement
<ul><li>Follow safety and field operations policy and procedures
</li><li>Work in the field with minimal supervision
</li><li>Work in a variety of conditions (e.g., weather, terrain, diverse&ndash;potentially
</li></ul><div>buggy&ndash;habitats)
<ul><li>Applicants must possess a valid driver's license and have their own
</li></ul></div>transportation; use of NPS/University of Maine field vehicles to complete night
 
work may be available

</li></ul></div>settings
</div></div><div><div>Qualified applicants should be detailed-oriented, enthusiastic researchers who thrive in
 
small teams and are comfortable with the realities of roadside fieldwork. Including
 
identifying cryptic wildlife, handling deceased amphibians and working in high-traffic or
 
un-glamourous settings, while simultaneously managing your own field logistics and
 
schedule. Because the supervisor is off-site, the technician will maintain consistent
 
communications on their progress and accomplishments.
Location:
 
The Field Technician&rsquo;s primary work location is on Mount Desert Island, Maine, with
 
occasional field work on the Schoodic Peninsula. Field work will occur throughout
 
Acadia National Park, within a 30 to 60-minute drive of Bar Harbor. Shared office space
