Clark College is hereby advertising for a temporary field technician to participate in research related to American pikas, the ecosystems they inhabit, and their relationships to climate, across a diverse landscape. The technician will travel to remote locations in the Columbia River Gorge (s. WA, n. OR) to retrieve, deploy, and download data from microclimatic sensors, and record observations of field conditions (including performing surveys for pikas). Although breathtakingly scenic, accessing these locations is physically demanding, often requiring sustained hiking in steep, rocky locations. In particular, logistics involve parking at the nearest trailhead, day-hiking to locations up to several miles from the vehicle, and arriving at exact sensor locations, which can be up to 1100 m in elevation above the vehicle. Accessing some locations may require overnight backpacking. Equipment and instruction in field techniques will be provided to the technician. Based in the Gorge, the technician will be paid $14.30 per hour. Although the primary requirement of this position is the collection of field data, there may be opportunities to continue involvement with this and related research. The position is envisioned to encompass 6 weeks of work: ~3 weeks in late May or early June, and ~3 weeks in August or early September. Additional work (data entry, etc.) could extend into October or early November, should performance merit this.
