Subject: [glin-jobs] Hiring Invasive Plant Research Technicians - U.S. Geological Survey - Ann Arbor, MI

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Great Lakes Science Center (Ann Arbor, MI) is seeking up to three research technicians for full-time (40 hours/week), 6-month (with possibility of extension) positions to support research on invasive wetland plants. These positions are excellent opportunities for individuals looking to gain hands-on experience in ecological research prior to graduate school or at the beginning of a related career. Applicants MUST be either currently enrolled in, or successful graduates of an BS/MS degree program within 12 months of beginning contract to meet eligibility requirements. Find full details attached.
The pay rate is $23.18/hour for candidates with a bachelor’s degree, and up to $35.12/hour for those with a master’s degree. The expected (but flexible) start date is May 2026. These positions may be extended, contingent upon funding and performance (2 years maximum).
Applicants should have an interest in invasion ecology, wetland science, or botany. Candidates should be familiar with the scientific process including following methods, recording and managing data, and analyzing results. Previous experience with ecological research techniques (especially field-based) is preferred.
Send an email to McKenzie Smith ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) with the subject line “Phragmites Research Technician 2026” and attach a cover letter, resume, and contact information for three references. We will begin application review on March 1, 2026.

Please distribute widely.

Thank you!
