Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Plant Ecologist Position at Sevilleta LTER

The Sevilleta Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program at the University
of New Mexico is seeking to fill a position at the level of Research
Scientist 1.  Applicants must have a Bachelor of Science degree in a
relevant biological science.  This is largely a field ecology position and
applicants should be willing to reside at the Sevilleta LTER field station
(appx. 50 miles south of Albuquerque) from Monday-Thursday for up to six
non-consecutive months of the year.  All other duties are to be performed on
the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque, NM.

The primary responsibility of this position is to collect and manage data
for ten long-term research projects. Most of this research focuses on a
variety of topics within desert grassland ecology.  However, there is some
collection of small mammal data, as well.

The successful applicant should be able to work independently and be
knowledgeable about the fundamental concepts, practices, and procedures of
ecology.  Applicants should be able to identify the plants of central New
Mexico or have the demonstrated ability to learn this flora.

Preferred Qualifications:

M.S. degree in a relevant biological science.
Ability to hike long distances carrying field equipment.
Ability to wear a half-face respirator.
Previous field crew experience.
Knowledge of the flora of central New Mexico.
Experience with the trapping, handling, and identification of small mammals.
Experience managing large data sets.

application period for best consideration is brief and closes April 3, 2011.
