The Panhandle National Forests (IPNF) will soon begin filling multiple temporary seasonal positions in our natural resource management program. Openings are available at the GS-2, GS-3, GS- 4, GS-5, GS-6 and GS-7 levels. These are SEASONAL TEMPORARY natural resource related positions with a maximum six month tour schedule (Not to exceed 1039 hrs.). The anticipated start date for these positions is mid-April to early June, 2015. Employees who are students generally work through mid to late August, while others may work as late as October.

The Idaho Panhandle has specific announcement numbers for each position, which will be advertised on USA Jobs for seven days opening February 3th and closing February 9th. Applications for these temporary positions will only be accepted during that seven day period. To apply for these temporary jobs you will need to go through USAJOBS at http://www.usajobs.gov/, create a profile and set up your resume. Please make sure you select all of the locations you are interested in (e.g. Bonners Ferry, Sandpoint, Nordman, Coeur d’Alene, Smelterville, Avery and St. Maries). Applicants should read the vacancy announcement for specific information about the job requirements and follow the instructions on how to apply.

The IPNF is located in the northern panhandle of Idaho, as well as northeastern and a portion of northwestern . As such, the IPNF is a diverse landscape, with plant communities ranging from dry forests and grasslands to inland rainforests and subalpine habitats.
