Assists with natural resource monitoring efforts of threatened and endangered (T&E) species at Dry Tortugas National Park.
Collect morphologic data on nesting sea turtles, migratory birds, Nassau groupers, queen conch, and other T&E species providing resource status information to park managers, regional staff, and the public.
Coordinates logistics and supports working relationships with scientists from academic institutions, territorial and federal agencies and others performing resource efforts in the parks to improve management at Dry Tortugas National Park.
Maintains vessels and vehicles, SCUBA equipment, sea turtle program equipment, and other scientific supplies used for wildlife monitoring work.
Data entry, research, and report writing in office setting.

Park Description/Area Information: This position is stationed at Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO) which is located 70 miles west of Key West, Florida in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. The park is 101 square miles of mostly ocean with a sub-tropical coral reef system. There are currently 7 small keys that make up less than 0.2% of the park area. These keys are home to a variety of nesting seabirds including: sooty terns, brown noddys, magnificent frigatebirds, and masked boobies. They keys are also hosts for several hundred loggerhead and green sea turtle nests each year. Work will be a mixture of terrestrial and marine focused duties. These will include helping determine direction for monitoring studies for seabirds and sea turtles, invasives species management, marine surveys, and restoration projects. Work priorities can shift rapidly due to remote nature of the park, weather patterns, and logistical difficulties, so being flexible is vital to these positions. While duties will be shared, the park is looking for three biologists; one who will focus predominantly on terrestrial areas, one with a focus on marine areas, and one with a focus on equipment and instrumentation including dive equipment and boats.

While on duty employees typically stay at Garden Key, a remote 16-acre island with few services. The island does have employee housing, a small recreation room, and limited Starlink internet. Employee housing at Garden Key is in small or shared apartments with other employees. Housing units have running water, air-conditioning, and small kitchens. There are no grocery stores, banks, etc... available on the island. Employees must travel to Key West to access most services. Creating a work-life balance while living at a worksite for up to two weeks, with limited to no services can be challenging. Available recreational activities include: snorkeling, diving, paddleboarding, fishing, sailing, birding, and other outdoor pursuits.
