JOB ANNOUNCEMENT 
Invasive Species Project Manager


The Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination Center (SABCC), a nonprofit
organization based in Tucson, AZ aims to coordinate regional,
multijurisdictional efforts that limit further spread of buffelgrass
(Pennisetum ciliare) and mitigate near and long term ecological and
socioeconomic impacts ( <http://www.buffelgrass.org> www.buffelgrass.org).
SABCC seeks to hire an Invasive Species Project Manager to help contract and
coordinate mapping, treatment and monitoring activities across multiple
jurisdictions. Treatments will range from hand removal and chemical spraying
in right-of-ways and accessible areas to aerial spraying of dense stands on
difficult terrain. A web-based data management system and an integrated
decision (state-and-transition) model have been developed to prioritize
areas for treatment, select the best strategies, track success, and amend
decisions in an adaptive management framework. The Invasive Species Project
Manager will execute agreements to map buffelgrass and design, implement and
evaluate treatments lands in and around Tucson International Airport and
areas within Pima County. This is a challenging but potentially very
rewarding assignment capable of producing a template for addressing other
spatially-extensive environmental problems in the American West. A college
degree or equivalent and at least three (3) years of relevant project
management experience are required. Knowledge in data management, GIS,
decision support, and weed control are preferred. Pay will be  commensurate
with level of experience. Please submit a detailed letter of interest,
curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation by regular mail to Dr.
Lindy Brigham, Executive Director, Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination
Center, 1955 E. 6th St., Tucson, AZ 85719, tele: (520) 626-8307 or by email
at  <mailto:Lindy.Brigham at buffelgrass.org> Lindy.Brigham at buffelgrass.org. 

The deadline for application is August 15, 2012.
