Summer technician position on grapevine drought tolerance in the Bartlett Lab at UC Davis

The Bartlett Lab in the Department of Viticulture & Enology at the University of California, Davis is seeking an enthusiastic and hard-working summer technician to assist in research to find root traits that can be used to improve crop drought tolerance. The selected technician will manage a combined greenhouse and vineyard drought experiment on a diverse set of grapevine rootstocks. Responsibilities will include weighing and watering pots to maintain precise experimental drought treatments, using plant physiology equipment to measure root drought tolerance traits and monitor plant water stress and photosynthesis, and harvesting and measuring plant biomass growth. The selected technician will also supervise the undergraduate research students who are assisting with this work. The successful candidate will gain hands-on experience with greenhouse and field experiments, plant physiology and drought tolerance, and viticultural practices.

The successful candidate must have a background in plant biology and strong critical-thinking skills, attention to detail, and a positive attitude. Previous experience with plant biology or physiology research, especially experience using pressure bombs and LI-COR photosynthesis systems, is strongly preferred.

The position will start as early as possible in June and continue through September, though there may be opportunities to continue involvement with this and related research for another year. Salary is $20.54/hr. The greenhouse drought experiment may require several hours of work on the weekends, over a period of 4 – 6 weeks: this work is compensated at 1.5x time the standard rate. To apply, please send (1) a CV, (2) a brief (max. 2 pg) cover letter addressing these qualifications and your previous experience with research, (3) an unofficial transcript, and (4) contact information for 3 references as a single PDF tomkbartlett@ucdavis.edu. Review of applications will begin on 5/30/19.

Botanist/Riparian Vegetation Technician Needed in Oregon

GBI is recruiting Botanists to assist in the implementation of the National Aquatic Monitoring Framework (NAMF) for Assessment, Inventory, Monitoring

(AIM) of lotic ecosystems, as well as the Multiple Indicator Monitoring

(MIM) of stream channels and streamside vegetation. The Botanists will work with agency staff, GBI staff and Aquatic Monitoring Field Leads and Technicians. Each Botanist will work as part of a three-person crew (one Crew Lead, one Botanist, one Technician) to assess riparian vegetation and sample streams and rivers on BLM-managed land using the BLM’s Aquatic AIM and MIM protocols for wadeable rivers and streams. AIM seeks to standardize the collection of quantitative data that can be used at multiple scales to assist the BLM in making resource management decisions.

More information about AIM and AIM implementation can be found at

https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Faim.landscapetoolbox.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Ceric.schultz%40uconn.edu%7C5974a78cd74d4cfe173e08d6d39691f9%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C636929040999295222&sdata=biW4Mk6z2skkP42OSlhGyCfHPBEYqKTeq%2FiUaCoJYqQ%3D&reserved=0

Crews will interact with local BLM staff, national level staff at the National Aquatic Monitoring Center, and GBI senior monitoring staff. Data collection involves measuring a variety of attributes including water chemistry and instream habitat, collecting aquatic macroinvertebrates, and conducting ocular estimates in the riparian zone. Additional data collection for MIM sites will involve classifying streamside vegetation and identifying riparian vegetation to species and sub-species. Successful applicants will be required to work and camp in the field. Applicants should be prepared to encounter strenuous working conditions.

Field work and duties may include:

• Navigating off-trail to sampling sites; • Establishing sampling plots and transects (within the stream channel and streamside riparian area); • Entering data into and managing the Stream and River Assessment Hub

(SARAH) Ipad application (Aquatic Data Management Protocol); and • Identifying plants to species using dichotomous keys.

• Collecting riparian vegetation data, including species inventory (greenline composition, cover and constancy, stubble height, wood), stream bank stability, age and height classes of woody species, canopy cover, etc.

and making qualitative ecological assessments

District/State Office Projects:

• 1 Botanist, Lakeview District Office – Oregon Statewide project; home base Klamath Falls and Lakeview, Oregon • 1 Botanist, Vale District Office – Oregon Statewide project; home base Vale and Baker City, Oregon • 1 Botanists, Burns District Office – Oregon Statewide project; home base Burns, Oregon
