Work in the field will be on a regular basis and involve driving and hiking in remote, rugged regions with mild temperatures in the winter and extremely hot conditions in the summer. Interactions and outreach with outside agencies and the public would be prominent in this position.
Palm Springs, CA - The Palm Springs-South Coast Field Office (PSSCFO) is looking for a Wildlife Biologist to perform a variety of high priority work. Our number one priority is in the renewable energy field, where biologists work closely with other staff specialists to manage habitats for both plant and animals species. This work consists of surveys, database management, NEPA, Biological Assessments, restoration work, grant writing, Off highway vehicle use, managing crews, working in extreme heat, and the ability to drive a 4 x 4 truck in the desert sand. We also work closely with other agencies, partnerships, and a variety of friends groups throughout the southern California region. We are looking for an individual with great communication skills and great team member skills.

Duties include, but are not limited to:
Assisting in preparing, evaluating and conducting biological analysis of land and water resource projects;
Serving on interdisciplinary teams, writing and reviewing biological input to environmental assessments, biological assessments, and development of protective stipulations, and resource management plans;
Coordinating wildlife and plant monitoring;
Providing input to environmental assessments, biological assessments, development of protective stipulations, and resource management plans;

The individual works in an office setting at this level, however, in order to gather samples and complete monitoring activities, the individual frequently may be required to walk or ride vehicles over rough terrain, perform duties that require recurring bending, crouching, stooping, reaching or lifting. Work may also include lifting of moderately heavy items, such as equipment and samples. Much of the work is performed in an office setting. However, frequent field work is necessary to complete the work involving outdoor exposure. Outdoor exposure involves some discomfort in extremes of temperature or inclement weather. The incumbent may be subjected to hostile wildlife, chemical and physical hazards.
