Job Description
The International Crane Foundation (ICF) is seeking a passionate and dedicated Outreach Biologist to join our team at our headquarters in Baraboo, Wisconsin. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to global conservation efforts by leading community outreach and education initiatives focused on protecting the endangered Whooping Crane. As a key member of our team, the Outreach Biologist will engage with communities across key states-including Wisconsin, Indiana, and Alabama-to raise awareness, foster stewardship, and reduce human-related threats to cranes. This role also supports ICF's broader mission by contributing to research and collaboration throughout the flyway. This is a full-time position, with a salary range of $42,000-$51,000 per year, dependent on experience level, full benefits, occasional nights and weekends required and a start date in August. If you are enthusiastic about wildlife conservation and committed to making a lasting impact, apply with us!
About the Role
The Outreach Biologist plays a pivotal role in advancing the International Crane Foundation's mission to protect North American cranes, with a primary focus on the endangered Whooping Crane. This position builds and maintains strong partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders-including state and federal agencies, conservation groups, hunting clubs, and energy companies-primarily in Wisconsin, Alabama and Indiana. Through targeted education and outreach efforts, the Outreach Biologist engages community groups such as schools, civic organizations, and birding clubs to foster awareness and promote crane conservation.
The Outreach Biologist identifies and collaborates with community members to implement awareness campaigns and cultivate local stewardship. Part of this position will include working with energy companies to reduce infrastructure-related crane mortality and leading local initiatives to prevent poaching.
In addition to outreach, the Outreach Biologist maintains detailed program metrics and supports research and monitoring activities that address human-caused threats to Whooping Cranes. The position may have the potential to supervise remote outreach staff in the flyway. When poaching incidents occur, the Outreach Biologist coordinates response efforts with law enforcement and judicial stakeholders to advocate for stronger legal consequences.
This role also involves working within a strategic plan and managing program finances, including developing work plans, managing multi-source budgets, and approving expenses. Fundraising is another essential aspect, with responsibilities that include grant writing, donor engagement, and identifying new funding opportunities. Volunteers are vital to this work, and the Outreach Biologist leads efforts to recruit, train, and retain committed individuals to expand the program's reach and impact.
