JOB SUMMARY Battelle manages and operates the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) project, which is solely funded by the National Science Foundation. A 30+ year project dedicated to understanding how changes in climate, land use and invasive species impact ecology, the observatory’s scientists and engineers are collecting a comprehensive range of ecological data on a continental scale across 20 eco-climatic domains representing US ecosystems.  Our teams use cutting-edge technology, including an airborne observation platform that captures images of regional landscapes and vegetation; mobile, relocatable, and fixed data collection sites with automated ground sensors to monitor soil and atmosphere; and trained field crews who observe and sample populations of diverse organisms and collect soil and water data.  Once structures are completed, a leading edge cyberinfrastructure will calibrate, store and publish this information.  The Observatory includes more than 500+ personnel and is the first of its kind designed to detect and enable forecasting of ecological change at continental scales. Field Ecologists report to the Field Operations Manager. Field Ecologist I - The Field Ecologist I is a biological sampling lead performing seasonal and periodic sampling activities and sample processing. Seasonal field sampling is conducted with the assistance of temporary field crews under the guidance of the Field Ecologist. This position will be supporting instrumentation, limnology, and soil protocols.  LOCATION The NEON Project’s Domain 12/15 is a dual Domain with offices located in Utah and Montana. This position will be based in the Salt Lake City, UT office.  Domain 12/15 consists of three terrestrial and two aquatic sites. Terrestrial field sites are located SW of Salt Lake City in the West Desert (ONAQUI), South of the town of Moab (MOAB) and in Yellowstone National Park (YELL). The UT sites are characterized by expansive sagebrush/shrubland and pinyon-juniper habitats, while the Yellowstone site is characterized by wildland populations of megafauna and sagebrush/pine dominated habitats. Domain base locations are classically Western, with sweeping views of valleys, plains and local mountains that are fun and exciting to live and work in. The Domain’s two aquatic sites are located in the pristine Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area (REDB) just above Salt Lake City and in Yellowstone National Park (BLDE). The terrain at all sites is moderately rugged requiring 4WD driving, UTV use and challenging hiking at altitude (Salt Lake City lies at ~4200ft/1280m elevation, Yellowstone National Park lies at ~6500ft/1980m). We work in all kinds of weather, across seasons: very hot and dry, heavy precipitation, and freezing windy days. Expect highly variable schedules, including 10-12-hour days for many days in a row, as well as periods of less than 40 hours a week, as storms, wildfires and flash floods impede sampling.  Hazards are generally minimal, but include some chance of encountering stinging insects, rattlesnakes, thorny plants, and potentially dangerous encounters with large mammals.  Lastly, 2 out of 3 sites involve moderate to long travel times with some overnight stay required when working at the MOAB and YELL sites. Salt Lake is 20 minutes from world-class skiing, backpacking, and rock climbing, with all the cultural benefits of a large city. Although the remote base locations are smaller in size, Moab is an epicenter for outdoor adventurers interested in rafting, hiking, desert sandstone rock climbing, and mountain biking. Working in Domain 15 offers the best of the West, spanning the Great Basin and the Colorado Plateau.  MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES Instrumentation (tower) emphasis: Test, troubleshoot and operate instruments, calibration equipment and test fixtures.
