Hi Jim,

The National Park Service has a partnership with Missouri State University, and we are offering a full-time Aquatic Ecology Research Specialist position. This candidate will assist NPS with our aquatic resource monitoring within national parks of the Midwest. The position is stationed on Missouri State University campus in Springfield, and the candidate will be working with both NPS and Missouri State University staff.

We are seeking a candidate with at least a bachelor's degree, and preferably a graduate degree, in natural sciences with preference on candidates with aquatic ecology coursework or experience. A good understanding of freshwater systems is required. The candidate will be responsible for collecting aquatic field data (fish, invertebrates, stream habitat, water quality) and identification and processing of fish and invertebrate samples in the lab.  Extensive travel throughout the Midwest to conduct sampling for several consecutive days is also necessary. Additional job responsibilities are: data entry, data analysis, and assisting NPS biologists with report writing.

The job is currently posted on the Missouri State University Applicant Portal at:

Would you mind sharing this announcement with undergraduate and graduate students in the Fisheries and Wildlife Department?

Thanks,
Hope
