Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission is recruiting candidates to fill the role of a Fishery Biologist 2 to work closely with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers at the Klamath Falls Field Station (KFFS) on adult fish monitoring. This is a full-time, benefits-eligible position with an anticipated start date of January 4th, 2026. Please review required application materials and the closing disclaimer in the below sections. Closing Disclaimer: PSMFC will not accept resumes or cover letters for any position once the job announcement has been removed from the Careers Page. PSMFC will begin reviewing submitted applications the week of November 16, 2026 and may begin interviewing as soon as the week of November 23, 2026. PSMFC reserves the right to remove a job announcement at any time for any reason or close the position prior to the posted close date once a sufficient number of applicants have been received.& #8239; The USGS KFFS has been tracking individual Lost River and Shortnose suckers ' two long-lived, endangered fish species ' for more than two decades. The incumbent would be leading the field logistics behind adult sucker monitoring, from running boats and maintaining Passive Integrated Transponder tag (PIT-tag) detection equipment to scheduling and coordinating field crews through back-to-back spring and fall field seasons. You'll also get exposure to juvenile sucker work and fin-ray aging and genetic sampling across both life stages, giving you a rare full-life-cycle view of an endangered species most biologists never get. If you're someone who's at your best running field operations, keeping equipment and crews moving, and wants real ownership over how a season comes together, we'd like to hear from you. Group Definition: Fishery Biologists use professional knowledge and competence in the science of fishery biology to perform work: (a) developing, conserving, propagating, managing, and administering fishery resources; (b) evaluating the impact of construction projects and other socioeconomic activities that present potential or actual adverse effects on fishery resources and their habitat; and (c) producing and managing aquatic resources in their natural habitat and/or within facilities and systems that have been constructed for their benefit and public use. ****For a complete job description, view the PSMFC career site****
