Shoshone Natioinal Forest Wildlife
The incumbent would work as a fisheries technician to support stream restoration and aquatic habitat projects across the Shoshone National Forest in coordination with the District Fish Biologist. The Shoshone National Forest has many miles of streams and alpine lakes with native fish, including Yellowstone cutthroat trout, and other game non-native species. This position involves electrofishing surveys, monitoring restoration effectiveness, implementing beaver dam analogs, assisting with stream restoration planning, and collecting beaver‑use data to inform potential beaver translocations. Fieldwork occurs in rugged mountain terrain, often in inclement weather, and requires hiking long distances, carrying heavy packs, and working in areas with abundant grizzly bears.
