Multiple field technician positions are available to work within a large‐scale experiment on restoration of plant and animal communities in fragmented habitats. Research will include studies of the effects of corridors on various aspects of plant and arthropod dispersal. Tasks will include study site preservation, building, establishment, emptying, and maintenance of traps, and seed/arthropod identification. Technicians will join a team of several principal investigators, several undergraduate and graduate students, and be provided exposure to numerous research questions and approaches. The pay rate will be $10.00/hr. Cheap housing options are available close to the research site in New Ellenton or Aiken, SC.
Successful candidates will have demonstrated interest and experience in ecology, biology, or a related discipline, and be able to endure hot and humid conditions and long hours in the field. Previous field research experience is desirable. Positions only available to US citizens due to research site restrictions.
