Technicians will gain useful field experience in Freshwater Ecology and Conservation Biology. Benefits include competitive wages, per diem, and housing. Applicants should have good attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and be able to work in variable field conditions. Applicants with an interest in conservation biology or ecology are preferred. Applicants should send a cover letter along with a resume or CV that documents relevant skills, experiences, and coursework to Amber Furness ([email protected]).
