American Bird Conservancy is expanding its glass testing program from the original location at the Powdermill Nature Reserve in Rector, PA to include a second tunnel at Foreman’s Branch Bird Observatory in Chestertown, MD in order to increase ABC’s capacity to evaluate bird-friendly building materials. The Bird Collision Glass Testing Program Coordinator will manage the day-to-day activities of these programs while assisting with other needs in the Glass Collision Program.

The Bird Collision Glass Testing Program Coordinator should understand bird behavior and vision physiology as well as having a working knowledge of architecture and building design. Experience with bird banding is a plus. The Coordinator should be an organized, detail- oriented, analytical, and deadline-driven person who can work with glass companies, architects, researcher, scientists, and volunteers.
