Full-time Field Research Assistants (paid) are needed for research
on the ecology and evolution of plant mating systems in Central
Ohio. Research will focus on the response of plant morphology and
mating patterns to availability of resources. Duties will include
maintaining plant populations, collecting morphological data and
seeds, as well as some easy building activities. Moderately
strenuous activity will occur daily and we will be outside most
days. Field research is conducted in small teams on Ohio State
University's experimental farms in Columbus, OH and the surrounding
area. Prior field experience is highly desirable; strong work ethic,
meticulousness, and ability to work both independently and in small
teams are required. The project offers research and learning
experiences for Project Assistants, particularly with regard to the
ecology and evolution of plant mating systems.
Desired dates of employment (35 hours/week): May 1 to September 1,
2010. Wage is commensurate with education and experience.
Transportation to remote field sites will be provided.
Consideration of applications will begin on April 10th. Please
submit via email a brief letter of application, a resume, and the
names, phone numbers, and email addresses of three professional references to:
Lesley Campbell, <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected], at Rice University.
