BOTANY & FOREST HEALTH MONITORING INTERNSHIPS, SUMMER 2020

10-week (June to mid-August) internships are available for undergraduate students and recent graduates to study forest health and plant community ecology of the unique pine barrens ecosystem of Long Island in New York State. Interns will be based at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, NY, and they will have an opportunity to interact with researchers from BNL and State University of New York (SUNY-ESF) as members of research teams resurveying long-term Forest Health Monitoring plots established in 2005/2006 across Long Island. Interns will learn plant identification and field methods in monitoring forest vegetation and they will develop their own research projects on various aspects of forest change (e.g., tree regeneration or mortality, understory plant communities) that will include data collection, data analysis, and reporting results. A weekly stipend ($500 per week) and appropriate guidance and training will be provided. Free dormitory housing is available for students who live > 50 miles from BNL. The deadline to apply is January 9, 2020, but submitting the applications by December 16, 2019 is strongly encouraged. Additional information about the project, eligibility, and the application process is here: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esf.edu%2Fefb%2Fdovciak%2FPDFs%2FSULI%2520Internships-Summer2020.pdf&data=02%7C01%7Cmadeline.hennessey%40uconn.edu%7C8829dba3eade435ce4f608d753ac34e2%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637069871401786446&sdata=esSH6GfW%2BT7mjxgRCaMIZtNhPEn371b%2BHxX6ledt3M8%3D&reserved=0

Job: Coastal Ecosystems Data Technician at Smithsonian Environmental

The Coastal Carbon Network and MarineGeo at Smithsonian Environmental Research Center are looking for a Coastal Ecosystems Data Technician. This is a great job for recent graduates, especially those who have some experience in R or Python. Please visit our website, or read the full post below for more information. We would really appreciate it if you could forward this to qualified candidates and encourage them to apply before Nov. 1st.

Thanks!

Coastal Ecosystems Data Technician

Application Period: October 16 to November 1, 2019

Pay: $37,955-$47,016 depending on experience

Contract Period: 1-year subject to renewal depending on performance and funding

                Coastal ecosystems support specialized plant, microbe and animal species that collectively form some of the Earth’s most productive and diverse ecosystems. Tidal marshes, mangrove swamps, and seagrass meadows remove large amounts of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and bury it in soils for centuries to millennia. Coral and oyster reefs buffer our coastlines from storm damage and provide critical habitat for fisheries. The biodiversity found in all these coastal ecosystems is central to their healthy functioning, yet they are under severe pressure from human activity which threatens to diminish the many benefits they provide.

The Data Technician will work with two related programs based at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC): the Coastal Carbon Network (CCN) and the Marine Global Earth Observatory (MarineGEO). The goal of the CCN is to accelerate the pace of discovery in coastal carbon science by serving a community of researchers and practitioners with data, tools and synthesis opportunities. MarineGEO is a Smithsonian-led, global network of partners using a standard toolkit of observations and coordinated experiments to understand changing nearshore marine ecosystems in the age of humans. For both programs, the technician will support the major data analysis and sharing goals. Duties will include handling data submissions from outside researchers, completing literature reviews, building databases, web interfaces, and online tools, providing technical support during collaborative science meetings, and contributing to the overall scientific quality of the operation. The technician will work with Research Scientists James Holmquist and Pat Megonigal on CCN and Director Emmett Duffy and Coordinating Scientist Jon Lefcheck on MarineGEO.

This position requires a BS in ecology, environmental science, geography, computer science or a related discipline, and some coding experience in programs such as R or Python. The ideal candidate would have experience using GitHub to facilitate collaboration, proven experience with managing large or complex datasets, and familiarity with the science of coastal ecology, carbon cycling, biodiversity, climate change, or wetland research issues. Exemplary candidates will have one or more of the following: HTML and Web Design skills, experience with R-Shiny design, experience with producing field and lab data, and GIS proficiency.

As a single PDF, please send a brief cover letter outlining how you meet the required qualifications, a resume, and the names of three references to CoastalCarbon@si.edu by November 1, 2019.

SERC is focused on understanding the causes and consequences of environmental change for marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems. The main campus is a 2,650-acre research site on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Edgewater Maryland. Facilities include the Global Change Research Wetland, the site of the known longest running ecological manipulation experiment. Nearby cities include historic Annapolis, Maryland’s capital, and D.C. The technician will be hired as a ‘Trust Employee’ through Smithsonian’s non-profit wing. This will entitle them to health, vision, dental, and other benefits.

BOTANY & FOREST HEALTH MONITORING INTERNSHIPS, SUMMER 2020

Study forests of Long Island Pine Barrens at the nation’s premier research facility — the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL)

PROJECT OVERVIEW: Forests of Long Island Central Pine Barrens provide important habitats for rare species, clean water, coastal protection, and recreational opportunities in a densely populated region. However, invasions by non-native species and changing climate and land-use affect forest ecosystem health and biodiversity, potentially leading to the demise of native pitch pine and oak. Are open pine barren ecosystems slowly transitioning to open shrublands or ecosystems dominated by non-native invaders? Can these changes be moderated by careful forest management? To answer these questions, join the Dovciak research group at SUNY-ESF and BNL in the summer of 2020.

INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW: At Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, NY, interns will interact with SUNY-ESF and BNL researchers as members of research teams resurveying long-term Forest Health Monitoring plots established in 2005/2006 across Long Island. During this 10-week internship (June to mid-August) interns will learn plant identification and field methods in monitoring forest vegetation as they develop their own research projects on various aspects of forest change (e.g., tree regeneration or mortality, change in understory plant communities) that will include data collection, data analysis, and reporting results. A weekly stipend ($500/week) and training will be provided. Free dormitory housing is available for students who live > 50 miles from BNL. SUNY-ESF students can register for internship credit via EFB 420 and additional research experience can be pursued via EFB 298, EFB 498, or as an honors thesis.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

 Highly motivated undergraduate student (current sophomore or

higher) OR recent graduate (with degree received after June 1, 2018)

 Cumulative minimum GPA of 3.0

 Physical ability to work in the field effectively in inclement weather

(heat or rain) and for long periods of time (>40 hrs./week when needed)

 Background in botany, dendrology, ecology, forestry, or related

 Basic vascular plant identification skills or willingness to learn
