Job Summary

We are seeking a Research Associate to develop and implement pollinator inventory methods to collect scientifically valid data in support of natural resource management decisions at Colorado (COLM) and Dinosaur (DINO) National Monuments under a NPS Cooperative Agreement.

The candidate will assist in hiring staff, coordination of monthly field research activities, supervision of field and lab assistants, the processing of biological samples, analysis of ecological data, and the writing of annual and final reports.
