Be part of a team setting up a large field experiment (over 100, 30-acre forest stands) conducted by Michigan State University (Mike Walters, Forestry, Gary Roloff, Fisheries and Wildlife) and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

Employment starts immediately and lasts at least through December 2016, with the potential for extension. A work truck and lodging at locations in the UP and NLP of Michigan are provided. Pay is at least $11/hr and will depend on the combination of experience and education. Please e-mail a resume, cover letter and references to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
