Biologist
EMPSi
We are seeking an experienced mid-level wildlife and/or fisheries biologist (full-time/part-time) with knowledge of biological resource management in western states, as well as consulting or planning experience with US Forest Service and other federal agencies. Having a proven track record for Section 7 Consultations under the Endangered Species Act (ESA and contributing to Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) and Environmental Assessments (EA) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is highly desirable. This is a mostly office-based position with limited fieldwork, however, current (or the ability to obtain) USFWS species permits per Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA could expand field opportunities. The biologist will be self-motivated, with good organizational skills and technical expertise in biological resources.
The position would be based out of one of our offices in Reno, Nevada; San Francisco, California; Boulder, Colorado; Santa Fe, New Mexico; or Albuquerque, New Mexico.
