Duties will include work in both field and laboratory settings on projects examining the ecology and evolution of plants, plant-animal and plant-microbe interactions. Position includes lab management and training/working with our undergraduate team. Candidates should have B.A./B.S. in biology (or related field) and some hands-on field and/or lab experience. Training will be provided, but experience with DNA techniques (PCR, sequencing), plant care and greenhouse maintenance, plant identification and vegetation sampling, insect identification, soil science, and/or microbial methods is a bonus.
