The surveys will be conducted within the littoral zone (below the summer pool and above the winter pool lake elevation) along nine lake shorelines, which measure from 15 to 60 miles in length. Survey is expected to continue through the end of February and into March. This work will be conducted between Monday and Friday each week, with 40-hour work weeks. The survey crew size at each lake is expected to be five persons. There may be short breaks between lake surveys depending on the weather and fluctuations in the water levels at the lakes, which must be at winter pool during the surveys.
The federal prevailing wage rate for this project is between $24.03 to $25.83 per hour, depending on the state and county in which each survey is conducted. Per diem is $59 per day, with single occupancy hotel rooms. Lodging and cash per diem will be provided for all work days. Additional accommodations can be made for experienced candidates.
A bachelor’s degree in anthropology and attendance in a field school are required. Candidates need to have a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a willingness and demonstrated ability to work and hike in adverse weather conditions in the difficult, often muddy terrain in the shoreline areas around the lakes. Stooping, bending and lifting are essential functions of the position.
