What is the difference between Remote Behavioral Ecology vs Remote Wildlife Biologist?

AspectRemote Behavioral EcologyRemote Wildlife Biologist
Required CredentialsDegree in Ecology, Biology, or related field; research experienceDegree in Wildlife Biology, Ecology, or related; fieldwork experience
Work EnvironmentPrimarily research, data analysis, and writing from home or officeFieldwork combined with remote data analysis and reporting
Employer & Industry UsageAcademic institutions, research organizations, conservation groupsGovernment agencies, NGOs, research institutions
Common Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding research roles in ecology, remote research jobsWildlife management, conservation, fieldwork opportunities

Remote Behavioral Ecology focuses on studying animal behavior through research and data analysis, often from a remote setting. In contrast, Remote Wildlife Biologist involves fieldwork and conservation efforts, with some remote data tasks. Both roles require ecological credentials but differ in work environment and job focus.

Job description

Job Overview:
The need for proven wildfire hazard and risk modeling has never been greater. Our wildlands are at a tipping point and need streamlined approaches to assessing, planning, and implementing wildfire risk mitigation measures. Land managers, emergency responders, community planners, insurers, and many others have needs for reliable information on wildfire risk. Further, there is emerging demand for actionable wildfire risk information from the energy, construction, and industrial sectors.
The cultivation of data and application of science into strategic frameworks that enable tradeoff analysis and risk-informed decision making is critical to reducing catastrophic wildfire events. The Vibrant Planet Platform (VPP) is a decision support system for hazard mitigation and ecological restoration so we can help communities and managers get to implementation fast and effectively adapt those plans when conditions inevitably change. Pyrologix's fire modeling capabilities are the engine that support hazard and risk modeling not only in VPP but also across many sectors including utilities, communities, and insurance. We need additional talent to support Vibrant Planet's and Pyrologix's growing demand.
We are seeking an experienced, technically skilled, and highly motivated individual with an eye for customer-focused delivery of state-of-the-art wildfire analytics. The individual will join the Pyrologix Applied Fire Science team and develop, improve, and further automate wildfire fire modeling, provide spatial analysis, and support other wildfire analytics as assigned. The position is remote (a hybrid home-and-office arrangement based in Missoula, Montana would be preferred). Working comfortably and effectively as part of a distributed team is crucial. Some travel may be required.
Responsibilities:
  • Improve fire modeling calibration and validation and potentially develop new fuel and fire modeling approaches
  • Contribute to further development of fire behavior modeling automation
  • Perform spatial and temporal data analysis across large landscapes
  • Develop and implement spatial data and modeling frameworks
  • Develop and adhere to data standards
  • Incorporate data quality assurance and quality control into all work products
  • Document methodology and contribute to reports, presentations and other publications
  • Contribute to proposal development for new business opportunities

Required Qualifications:
  • Experience designing and performing custom analyses of vector and raster results of inputs and outputs of a wide range of fire modeling systems
  • Experience parameterizing, operating and interpreting incident-level wildfire behavior modeling systems such as FSPro, FARSITE, and their equivalents
  • Proficient at using commercial or open-source GIS software (ArcMap, ArcGIS, or QGIS, for example) to perform spatial analysis of vector and raster data
  • Experience writing or editing scripts to perform spatial analysis
  • Able to function well as part of a multi-disciplinary problem-solving team
  • Excellent attention to details
  • Ability to learn new concepts quickly
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills

Desired Qualifications:
  • Working knowledge of Rothermel-based spatial fire behavior modeling systems such as FSim, RANDIG, FConst, FSPro or FlamMap
  • Working knowledge of how fire behavior modeling inputs-including surface and canopy fuel characteristics, weather/climate, and topography-affect fire behavior characteristics
  • Experience producing and/or analyzing spatial fire modeling outputs, including burn probability, fire intensity, perimeter polygons, ignition sources, such as datasets hosted on the FS Research Data Archive.
  • Experience with fuelscape vegetation and fuels datasets, such as datasets produced by LANDFIRE's vegetation team and fuels team. Some examples of these datasets include: Existing Vegetation Type (EVT), Fuels Vegetation Cover (FVC), Canopy Cover (CC), Canopy Base Height (CBH), and Fuel Disturbance (FDist).
  • Experience working in wildfire sciences and/or management, such as incident response, fuels management, fire research, etc.
  • Experience with Python geospatial libraries such as GeoPandas, Rasterio, Shapely, GDAL, and ArcPy (or equivalent in R) with the ability to utilize existing Python scripts and to contribute to the enhancement and automation of fire modeling.
  • Familiarity with land management and wildfire decision support datasets, models, software, and workflows. For example, LANDFIRE, Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS), FlamMap, Nexus, WindNinja, FSim, Interagency Fuel Treatment Decision Support System (IFTDSS), Google Earth Engine.
  • Familiarity with processing remote sensing datasets such as LiDAR, NAIP, and LANDSAT.
  • Understanding of ecology in dry forests and Mediterranean environments and ecological forest management; ability to effectively communicate scientific concepts to lay audiences.
  • Experience supporting risk-based wildfire-incident decision making as part of a large-fire incident management team (e.g., LTAN, FBAN, etc.)

Duty Requirements:
  • Full time, year-round employment with existing legal authorization to work in the US
  • Ability to work normal business hours with a team based in the Mountain and Pacific time zones
  • Remote position with an operational home office with sufficient internet speed
  • Office space available in Missoula, MT

Compensation:
  • $100-130k base salary (dependent on experience and qualifications)

Benefits:
  • Health insurance
  • Unlimited PTO policy
  • 401k
  • Company equity
  • Home office set-up allowance (one time)

Equal Opportunity Employer:
Vibrant Planet and Pyrologix are committed to diversity. We encourage applicants from all cultures, races, colors, religions, sexes, national or regional origins, ages, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity, military, or other status protected by law to apply.
We are interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background, but have capacity to grow into and thrive in the position after some mentoring. We do not require that you have experience with every job description task. We will consider any equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. We encourage each candidate to think broadly about their unique background and skill set and how it may relate to the role.
