Primary responsibility will be sampling plant species composition in research sites at the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station, in eastern Idaho. Additional field tasks will include seed collection and setting up and fencing experimental plots. Laboratory tasks will include data entry, sorting and weighing plant material, seed viability testing, and digitizing historical data into a GIS. There may be an opportunity to develop an independent research project. You can find more information on research in our lab at: http://www.cnr.usu.edu/faculty/adler
Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate a strong interest in plant ecology and the ability to work either independently or as part of a team. Experience with plant identification or sagebrush steppe vegetation is helpful but not required. The work will begin in early May (so apply as soon as possible!) and will run through August. Salary will be $9-11/hour depending on experience. To apply, please email Dr. Peter Adler 1) a cover letter describing your qualifications and interest in plant ecology, 2) a CV or resume, and 3) contact information for three references.
