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. 6<sup>th</sup> St., Tucson, AZ 85719, tele: (520) 626-8307 or by email at </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%'><a href="mailto:Lindy.Brigham@buffelgrass.org"><b><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Lindy.Brigham@buffelgrass.org</span></b></a></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The deadline for application is <i>August 15, 2012</i>.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
