    Job Opportunity
    Botanist
    Summer 2019
    
    The Pennsylvania State University Department of Ecosystem Science and Management is hiring a botanist to collect forest monitoring data in eight national parks in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, including the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, New River Gorge National River, and Gauley River National Recreational Area. This work is part of a long-term monitoring program that provides park staff with crucial information on the condition of the parks’ vegetation and how this condition is changing over time. 
    
    The position will begin in early May 2019 and continue for 14 – 17 weeks with compensation of $18 per hour.  The technicians will travel to and be housed in or near a national park each week.  Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.  Opportunities for hiking, paddling, and rock climbing in gorgeous natural settings during time off are readily available throughout the summer. 
    
    Qualifications: Completed or working towards a Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Botany, Plant Taxonomy or related field, or a combination of related coursework in and direct experience with plant taxonomy and ecology. In-depth knowledge of the flora of the mid-Atlantic region is required, including expertise with the Cyperaceae and Poaceae families.  Ability to use technical botanical keys (dichotomous plant key without pictures) and demonstrated experience in following complex detailed field protocols are also required. Applicants should enjoy working outdoors in a variety of conditions and be able to work as a member of a team. Meticulous data collection skills, strong work ethic, and a positive attitude are required.  The ability to hike long distances carrying a 25+ pound backpack and work long hours in adverse conditions (e.g. steep terrain, hot/humid weather, stinging/biting insects, irritating plants) and in remote field sites is a must.  Applicants should be able to navigate in the woods by compass and using GPS. 
    
    To apply, please send: 1) a brief cover letter, 2) a resume, and 3) contact information for three references in a single Word or PDF document to Stephanie Perles [sjp16 at psu dot edu] by February 8, 2019.
