*Overview of position:*



The position is a 2-year term position with the potential for extension
based upon future funding availability. The position is located in Santa
Fe, NM but Albuquerque will be considered as an alternative work location.



The position conducts botany related fieldwork, such as survey and
monitoring, to determine long term status and trends, statewide rarity,
understanding current distribution, habitat, biology and vulnerability of
New Mexico's rare and endangered plant species, including inventories to
document the presence/absence of endangered plants at the direction of the
State Botanist. The position also assists with coordinating work directly
related to federal grants and partnership agreements, especially with the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM); implementing conservation actions outlined
in the New Mexico Rare Plant Conservation Strategy; implementing the NM
Rare Plant Act; assisting with coordinating rare plant working groups; and
providing assistance in reviewing permit requests resulting from the
revision of the State Endangered Rare Plant Rule 19.21.2.7 NMAC, which
authorizes incidental take of rare plants.



*The ideal candidate will have experience in the following:*

   - Experience with and passion for conducting field work and collecting
   thorough, accurate data (including plant specimens for identification and
   documentation) and other field observations on data forms, field notes,
   and/or electronic data systems.
   - Familiarity with collecting and managing detailed data using GPS,
   field data collections devices, and mapping software such as ArcGIS
   preferred.
   - Familiarity with southwest flora (New Mexico flora preferred) and/or
   adept at identifying plants using dichotomous keys.
   - Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate and foster positive
   relationships with resource management professionals, partner
   organizations, and members of the public.
   - Willingness to be in the field for multiple weeks at a time (not
   including weekends). Significant travel is to be anticipated throughout the
   field season requiring overnight stays and occasional camping.
   - Ability to travel to a field location, hike, and conduct fieldwork for
   long hours, sometimes in inclement weather and/or rugged terrain; ability
   to carry equipment and supplies up to 40 pounds.
   - Work effectively as a member of a team towards common goals, as well
   as independently on specific tasks.
   - Ability to read maps and navigate in remote terrain and off-trail.
   - Enthusiasm for coordination and facilitation of public meetings,
   councils, commissions, and technical workshops.
