Hi Jim,

It looks like all of our seasonal positions are posting this week across the Refuge, all open for application Dec 3 -9. The GS-5 positions all require a 4 year degree and/or 1 year of prior experience, but the GS-4 Park Ranger only requires 2 years of higher education/6 mo. prior experience.

Biological technician positions:

We'll be hiring several seasonal six-month GS-5 biotech positions at the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge and at Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge, all of which can be applied to through this application: https://www.usajobs.gov/job/820357900<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.usajobs.gov/job/820357900?fbclid=IwY2xjawG7_b1leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHbeByyZ6eKFy98nr0ojUVX8csHouovfdML6vORBgvqvHu4GmbEO98bIYcA_aem_yhOKNOQBGJP7jl0m1BeZ5Q*__;Iw!!HXCxUKc!2JZdHDwhFnZpDM6YGGgKQD4Vh50SzIywDua3LzVzmIrcEEiUdojm4ja4vQxiwCFp0tZg8NhPvU4Pa5ew5WyL8IWdfeMSmw$> (There are 15 locations on this advertisement and folks just need to select which locations they're interested in, in the application). These positions require a completed bachelor's in a related field and/or 1 year of prior experience.

This position includes a variety of duties including biological monitoring surveys (eagle nests, aquatic vegetation, black terns, prairie vegetation, forest inventory, bat acoustics, bumblebees), invasive species management (hand pulling and herbicide application), and general maintenance (mowing, boundary sign posting). The technician can expect to be outside in the field most days and needs to be comfortable with traveling by foot through dense vegetation and other outdoor conditions.

Greetings All!  This came across my desk this week and it is going to be a tight turn-around so I would like to spread the word as quickly as possible.  This is a 6 month seasonal position to assist with our public use program here at the La Crosse District office in Onalaska, WI.  We have a great team and an inviting work environment.  This position would assist with staffing our Visitor Center, assisting/leading interpretive and environmental education programs, stocking brochures at various locations on the river such as boat landings and overlooks, and much more!

If you know someone that would be a good fit please encourage them to apply, the timeline to apply will be Dec 3rd-Dec 9th.  Thank you for helping us spread the word!

Here is the link to the position:  https://www.usajobs.gov/job/819945300#<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.usajobs.gov/job/819945300*__;Iw!!HXCxUKc!2JZdHDwhFnZpDM6YGGgKQD4Vh50SzIywDua3LzVzmIrcEEiUdojm4ja4vQxiwCFp0tZg8NhPvU4Pa5ew5WyL8IWl9pS0Hw$>
