Restoration ecology field assistant. A field assistant is needed (June 15 to August, 2007) to work in Marthas Vineyard, MA for a habitat restoration project by the Ecosystems Center (MBL), The Nature Conservancy, and the University of Central Florida. This project will involve plot layout, soil sampling and "pre-treatment" vegetation sampling for a restoration experiment of rare coastal sandplain habitat. The position will be field based, and will involve challenging outdoor work, sometimes during inclement weather. There will be seed collections as well as laboratory analyses. This is a good opportunity for a student to learn a variety of research skills by working with an experienced field crew. Good botanical skills and field research experience are a plus, but not a requirement. Lodging is provided on Marthas Vineyard, MA. Salary is $300- 400/week, commensurate with experience. This job will be for 8-9 weeks, with the assistant working for as long as they are available in August. Please email a letter of interest, resume, and phone & email addresses of 3 references to: Dr. Betsy Von Holle, [EMAIL PROTECTED] by 5/15/07
