Wildlife Biologist job description
101 verified openings in Wildlife & Fisheries Biology
Alaska carries about seventeen times the national share of zoologist and wildlife biologist employment, Wyoming close to ten times, and Montana around seven, while the largest raw counts sit in California, Washington, Florida, and Oregon. Wildlife biologists count populations, band and collar animals, assess habitat, run surveys, and write the management plans that hunting, fishing, and land use decisions rest on. BLS counted 19,500 in the occupation for 2025, projects 4 percent growth, and expects about 1,400 posts to open a year, a small field in which a willingness to relocate changes everything. Median pay was $76,780 for May 2025. A bachelor's degree gets somebody started; many first jobs are seasonal or term appointments.

Wildlife and fisheries openings employers have live right now are stacked above, and field season shapes this market: agency and refuge hiring runs to its own calendar rather than year round, so the list looks different in March than it does in September. Employers should say whether the post is permanent, term, or seasonal, where the duty station is, how remote the field sites are, and whether housing comes with it. Those four answers decide whether a biologist can take the job at all.
