Job Summary: The Timber Fish & Wildlife (TFW) Program supports the protection of fish and wildlife habitat and other tribally valued resources throughout the Snohomish, Stillaguamish, and Whidbey basins from logging and related forest practices activities. The Watershed Scientist will provide technical expertise involving physical watershed processes (i.e. geology, hydrology, soils, forest engineering) in support of Tulalip Tribes’ TFW/Forests and Fish Program. Although the Watershed Scientist will focus primarily on physical processes, they must understand how this fits into the associated regulatory, ecological, and fisheries context for the watershed. This position is responsible for representing and coordinating Tulalip Tribes’ interests in the TFW/FFR (Forests and Fish) arena and the Forest Practice Application (FPA) process within the Tribes’ usual and accustomed treaty basins and focused watersheds. Representation includes reviewing applications/proposals in the office and on-site visits, submitting comments to the permitting agency regarding resource protection/preservation concerns, developing and maintaining an application database, and coordinating interagency meetings and field visits. Additionally, the position may require participation in the Cooperative Monitoring Evaluations and Research (CMER) scientific advisory groups, compilation of summary reports and statistics on forest practices activities and Tulalip Tribes’ involvement, and conducting research and monitoring studies.
Compensation: $32.42 hr.
Education Required
- Bachelor’s Degree (BS) in Geology, Fluvial Geomorphology, Hydrology, or other closely related landscape natural processes or physical sciences field
