USFS Office/Lab and Location: A fellowship opportunity is available with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (USFS) within the Pacific Northwest Research Station (PNWRS) located in Walla Walla, Washington.
At the heart of the U.S. Forest Service's mission is their purpose. Everything they do is intended to help sustain forests and grasslands for present and future generations. Why? Because their stewardship work supports nature in sustaining life. This is the purpose that drives the agency’s mission and motivates their work across the agency. It’s been there from the agency’s very beginning, and it still drives them. To advance the mission and serve their purpose, the U.S. Forest Service balances the short and long-term needs of people and nature by: working in collaboration with communities and our partners; providing access to resources and experiences that promote economic, ecological, and social vitality; connecting people to the land and one another; and delivering world-class science, technology and land management.
Research Project: Blue Mountain forests include warm, dry sites where ponderosa pine was once the major component. Much of these forests are at risk for high-severity wildfires due to increased abundance of multi-storied stands with high stocking levels. As part of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP), Region 6 (R6) is implementing silviculture and prescribed-fire treatments to restore forests to historical structure and composition in the northern Blue Mountains. This project monitors wildlife biodiversity responses to management actions and uses this information to develop predictive models to evaluate trade-offs in wildlife biodiversity, management actions, and wildfire risk. This project is coproduced with R6 managers and develops, implements, and evaluates passive sampling designs (audio recording units [ARUs] and trail cameras) to monitor wildlife biodiversity by conducting field research across two national forests to meet management monitoring objectives and to understand heterogeneity and turnover in species occurrence and habitat use.
Learning Objectives: This participant will gain hands-on research experience while studying wildlife ecology aimed at informing natural resource management. Specific appointment objectives include:

Appointment Length: The appointment will initially be for 9 months but may be extended upon recommendation of USFS and is contingent on the availability of funds.
