The Rudgers & Whitney Labs at the University of New Mexico are looking
for a technician, effective immediately (position open until filled).
Duties will include work in both field and laboratory settings on
NSF-funded projects examining the ecology and evolution of plants,
plant-animal and plant-microbe interactions. Candidates should have
B.A./B.S. in biology (or related field) and some hands-on field and/or
lab experience. Training will be provided, but experience with DNA
techniques (PCR, sequencing), plant care and greenhouse maintenance,
plant identification and vegetation sampling, insect identification,
research experience in arid systems, and/or microbial methods is a
bonus. The position is full-time and term-limited (12-24 months). This
position would be an excellent fit for someone planning on graduate
study in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, as there will be the
opportunity to gain experience in a number of research areas and to
co-author papers.
This is a benefits eligible position. The University of New Mexico
provides a comprehensive package of benefits including medical, dental,
vision, and life insurance. In addition, UNM offers educational benefits
through the tuition remission and dependent education programs. See the
Prospective Employee page for a more complete explanation of UNM benefits.
Minimum Qualifications: Completed degree(s) from an
accredited institution that are above the minimum education requirement
may be substituted for experience on a year for year basis. Successful
completion of at least 60 college-level credit hours; at least 1 year of
experience that is directly related to the duties and responsibilities
specified.
Preferred Qualifications: B.A./B.S. in Biology (or related field) and
some hands-on field and/or lab experience; experience with DNA
techniques (PCR, sequencing), plant care and greenhouse maintenance,
grass identification and vegetation sampling, research experience in
arid systems, and/or microbial methods (endophytic and mycorrhizal
fungi, biological soil crusts) would make the candidate more competitive

All the best,
