PHYSICAL DEMANDS: The work is approximately 60% office, 20% laboratory, and 20% fieldwork. Fieldwork involves moderately heavy exertion, including walking with a load up to 40 pounds through deep mud and water wearing waders in Midwestern summer and winter temperatures. The work requires walking over rough rocky or muddy terrain; lifting and carrying equipment and supplies; wading in wetlands and streams in all types of weather; long hours; nighttime work; driving and operating motorized watercraft and all-terrain vehicles. The incumbent must be in good physical condition to withstand the rigors of the environmental conditions. Office work is sedentary. Laboratory work may require standing for long periods, or sitting at a bench, and occasionally using a microscope for long periods. WORK ENVIRONMENT: The work involves some degree of risk when conducting fieldwork as well as exposure to moderate to high levels of discomfort from such extremes as heat, cold and inclement weather. Fieldwork is conducted on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and their tributaries and associated wetlands and reservoirs, which exposes the incumbent to adverse conditions in the form of temperature extremes, stinging and biting insects, and wet and extremely muddy conditions. Office and lab work is performed in a comfortable, ventilated and well-lighted environment, and requires working on a computer or a microscope. Both field and lab work conditions require strict safety precautions and wearing correct equipment and clothing.
