Send all suspicious email as an attachment to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> All, I've got a part-time (30-hr per week) bear-related position here that can start most anytime. It will run up to 6 months and primarily will serve to assist us in investigating/evaluating/quantifying public attitudes and economic cost of damages associated with human-bear conflicts that occurred in the summer of 2018 in N. GA. Specifically we are interested in human-bear conflicts and public attitudes from one well-known gated community where a family group of habituated & food-conditioned black bears wreaked havoc on numerous homes - many that were occupied at the time the bear damage occurred - causing literally tens of thousands of dollars - possibly in excess of $100k - in damages and which ultimately resulted in the bears having to be removed and euthanized by DNR. As you can imagine, these situations involved intense public scrutiny, PR challenges, educational efforts and numerous, competing ideas among managers, residents of the community, and the general populace. Additionally this summer, we will be conducting bear bait-station surveys statewide, trapping and collaring some females, assisting with nuisance bear work, and working with bear data. Pay would be a minimum of $11.90/hr. Nearby housing at a WMA check station for the 6 month period would be worked out and state vehicles would be available for work-related duties. If you know of someone who would be exceptionally well-suited to assist us in such an endeavor, please feel free to pass along my contact information to them. Thanks so much and I'll look forward to seeing all of you in a month or so.
