     Three positions working on a South Florida fire ecology project
     are being announced by the Biological Resources Division of the
     U.S. Geological Survey.  Two positions are Biological Science
     Technicians (Botany) at the GS-5 level (salary $21K/yr) and one
     is a Botanist at the GS-7 ($26K/yr) or GS-9 ($31.9K/yr) level.

     The project is a long-term study of experimental fire regimes in
     pine forests and associated cypress wetlands in Big Cypress
     National Preserve.  The technicians are largely responsible for
     conducting fieldwork and the botanist is expected to assist in
     fieldwork and handle database management and analysis.

     The positions are not permanent and do not confer competitive
     status for federal employment.  However, they do provide
     entitlement to health, life, retirement, and within-grade
     increase benefits for the period of employment.
