Position Overview

The mission of the Michigan Natural Features Inventory (MNFI) is to guide the conservation of Michigan’s biodiversity by providing the highest quality scientific expertise and information.

The MNFI is soliciting applications for two zoological positions, one of which will have expertise in invertebrate zoology (terrestrial and/or aquatic) and the second position will have expertise with one or more invertebrate or vertebrate animal groups relevant to our mission. These positions will have statewide responsibilities and will be housed at the MNFI office in Lansing, Michigan.
