I graduated from Bowdoin in 2009 and currently work for UC Santa Barbara to recover endangered alpine amphibians in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. We are in the middle of hiring our seasonal field technicians for the 2022 summer season and are looking to fill one final spot after a technician recently dropped out. Please see the job description attached. In short, the position involves backpacking long distances on and off trail at high elevation in the Sierra, and observing and catching frogs. It is a great opportunity to spend a summer being paid to backpack and help work toward active management of an endangered species.

Maine Audubon has several openings, both full and part time with more coming through April. See the website:
