Field Ecologists reports to the Field Operations Manager .
Field Ecologist I - The Field Ecologist I is a technical position that performs routine maintenance and inventory management on all terrestrial and possibly aquatic instrumentation and sampling equipment.
Location
NEON’s Domain 02 encompasses the mid-Atlantic region from Georgia to Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The core site, which is home to the domain’s support facility and laboratory, is located at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal VA, only 66 miles from Washington DC. The other two sites that comprise D02 are located in Annapolis, MD at the Smithsonian Ecological Research Center (SERC) and at Blandy Experimental Farm, in Boyce VA, a Part of University of Virginia.
The field season here begins in March and runs through to the beginning of November so you will experience the full spectrum of weather this area can offer. There are ticks that carry Lyme disease, among other zoonotics, and the vegetation can often be difficult to work in.
Because SERC is over two hours away, there will be overnight stays that can last up to a week depending on the sampling that is taking place. Techs will need to be flexible in the hours that they will be asked to work, with some days starting before dawn and some ending after dusk. Much of our work is conducted at plots that will remain active research sites for the length of the project. Access to the plots is typically off-trail and can require walking 100 to 400 meters on uneven ground through thick vegetation and elevation changes.
Opportunities for outdoor recreation are plentiful as we are surrounded by national parks and forests and within a short drive to everything that our nation’s capital city can offer. As a D02 employee, you receive a Smithsonian ID, after going through a background check, which can be used to access museums and discounts for parking and merchandise.
Major Responsibilities
