<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Duties are associated with the conservation of native trout, lamprey and salmon. Some work may involve collecting water samples for DNA analysis, seining, constructing and
operating weirs, backpack electrofishing, electrofishing from a boat, handling and anaesthetizing fish, tagging fish, the collection of tissue for genetic analysis, and habitat surveys. Work may be conducted in remote, wilderness, national forest as well as
suburban and urban areas. These areas may include streams in the Gifford Pinchot, Mt. Hood, and Wallowa-Whitman national forests; the mainstem of the Snake, Columbia and Willamette rivers; and the cities of Portland (OR) and Vancouver (WA) as well as surrounding
suburbs. Some work may, at times, require hiking long distances over rough terrain, and then conducting work, in streams, on unstable substrate. Duties may require working long days, outside, under varying weather conditions as well as indoors on a computer.
Work will generally be conducted Monday-Friday, with 1-4 other people. Overnight camping may be required.</span></p>
