I provided some details about the position below but am available for a phone call if anyone interested in the position would like to learn more about the opportunity. Thanks and Go Green! (I will be yelling that Friday night at the game here in Evanston against Northwestern) Craig K. Pullins Certified Wildlife Biologist® District Supervisor – Northern Illinois USDA - APHIS - Wildlife Services AMC Bldg., Room 241 Chicago, IL 60666 Phone: 773-686-6955 Fax: 773-894-2419 E-Mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> *Please note my new email address is [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> From: APHIS-WS Vacancy <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, September 1, 2021 2:55 PM To: APHIS-WS All Employees <[log in to unmask]> Subject: FW: Biological Science Technician Vacancy - Zion, IL POSITION TITLE: Biological Science Technician TYPE OF POSITION: Term Appointment with possibility for Benefits, Excepted Service Not to Exceed 13 months (may be extended up to 4 years) WORK SCHEDULE: Full-time ANNOUNCEMENT #: IL WS 09-2021-1 SERIES/GRADE: GS-0404-5/6 FULL PERFORMANCE LEVEL: GS-0404-6 LOCATION: Zion, IL (Relocation expenses may be paid) From: Pullins, Craig K - APHIS <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2021 2:14 PM To: APHIS-WS Vacancy <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Cc: Beckerman, Scott F - APHIS <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: FW: Biological Science Technician Vacancy - Zion, IL To Interested Applicants, The IL-WS program is re-advertising this Biological Science technician position in Zion and would like to describe a little about the position so folks know more about it. The position and duty station is at a landfill but is a very diverse job. In addition to working on the landfill, the position includes being a team leader on white-tailed deer damage management programs, conducting beaver and muskrat damage management, being the main POC at a power generation facility in the area managing nesting gulls and geese, assisting on a raptor trapping program to protect nesting common terns at a Naval station on Lake Michigan, assisting and potentially leading our efforts to protect the State Endangered Blanding’s turtles through meso-predator management, and also assisting the county forest preserve district with their Blanding’s turtle recovery project by helping them trap, tag and track turtles. So this position can offer a lot of opportunities to expand your skillset outside of just working a landfill. As you can see, this Biological Science Technician position will definitely help build the employee’s skillset to be competitive for Wildlife Biologist positions. In addition to the job duties, the duty station is located in Zion, IL which is only a mile from the Wisconsin border. In fact the last few employees that were in this position lived in Wisconsin and have very little to no interaction with downtown Chicago. In fact the area around the landfill it fairly rural. Lastly, we are offering a relocation package for the person selected for it to help make the move a little easier for the employee. So if you are at all interested in the position, I would suggest you give me a call. Thanks, Craig K.
