*NOW HIRING:
TEMPORARY FIELD BOTANISTS*
*Date Posted*: February 21, 2008
*Department*: Ecological Restoration Institute
*Status*: Temporary Field Botanist
The Ecological Restoration Institute is now hiring temporary field
botanists to assist research projects on forest restoration and
ecosystem health. Botanists are expected to quickly learn the flora of
southwestern forests to maximize data collection quality and
efficiency. Methodologies include quadrats, point-line intercept
transects, and belt transects. Temporary botanists will occasionally
support overstory field crews collecting data on forest trees when there
is no botany work scheduled.
This summer we will be tentatively working in and around Flagstaff,
White Mountains, and at the North and South Rims of the Grand Canyon.
We work 10-hour days during the summer, from May 12th until the fall.
Local work will be in the form of 4-day weeks, from Monday through
Thursday, with three-day weekends off. Out-of-town work typically
consists of 8-day trips (Thursday-Thursday), with 6 days off
in-between. Food is paid for by the ERI.
After the end of the summer we will still have local field work to do,
and temporary botanists may be asked to stay on until October or
November doing day work in the local forests or keying plants in the
herbarium.
*Desired Qualifications*
Three years experience as field botanist; OR,
B.S. Botany, Biology or related field AND one year of field botany
experience; OR,
Equivalent combination of experience and training
*Pay Rate*
The pay for seasonal botanists is $11-13/hr, depending on experience.
*How to Apply*
If interested, please send resume and cover letter to Judy Springer via
e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or
