Field and Laboratory Technician Ecology and evolution of plant-animal interactions
The Whitney & Rudgers Labs at the University of New Mexico will soon be posting a technician opening. Duties will include work in both field and laboratory settings on NSF-funded projects examining the ecology and evolution of plants, plant-animal interactions, and plant-microbe interactions. Candidates should have B.A./B.S. in biology (or related field) and some hands-on field and lab experience. Training will be provided, but experience with DNA techniques (DNA extraction, PCR, sequencing), plant care and greenhouse maintenance, plant identification and vegetation sampling, and/or general field methods in ecology, is a bonus. The position will involve supervision of undergraduate research assistants. This position would be an excellent fit for someone planning on graduate study in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, as there will be the opportunity to gain experience in a number of research areas and to co-author papers. For more information on the position, please send a CV and contact information for three references by email ([email protected]).
