Biodiversity Research Institute (BRI) seeks a conscientious and detail-oriented permit and bird banding data manager for our non-profit organization located in Gorham, ME. Dedicated to assessing emerging threats to wildlife and ecosystems through collaborative research, BRI has 15 years of experience using scientific findings to advance environmental awareness and inform decision makers. BRI receives governmental (federal, state, and local), foundation, and industry funding to perform scientific research throughout the continental U.S. and abroad.
The permit and band manager will report to the Data Management Director in support of these and other data management tasks for BRI. The employee will be responsible for requesting biological sampling and import permits from state, federal and international agencies; track permit expiration dates and file amendments to existing permits; and prepare annual reports for each state and federal agency on the numbers of samples collected under each permit. The candidate will work closely with BRI staff to address current and future permitting needs. In addition to permits, the candidate will manage bird band inventory at BRI, record band data, and submit annual band reports to the USFWS. The candidate will also be expected to be very involved in data management and work closely with the Data Management Director to organize, compile, and QA/QC data as necessary. Some limited fieldwork will be required in support of BRI's many research projects. The candidate will be expected to travel and work in this capacity, sometimes in remote and difficult environments.
Qualified candidate must have a Bachelor's degree in biology, environmental studies, or closely related field. Successful candidates should be detail-oriented and have a track record of excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Candidates must be able to use Microsoft Excel. Database skills such as knowledge of Microsoft Access and mapping skills will be beneficial to this position, but not required. The successful candidate must possess a genuine interest in supporting BRI's mission and a strong desire to be part of a non-profit work environment.
