Subject: Hiring a new technician

Hi southwestern ecology network!

I will be hiring a new riparian botany technician for the 2021-2022 season. The announcement may be posted while I'm out of the office next week (June 2-8), so I wanted to start spreading the word now. If you know anyone who might be interested in applying, please have them contact myself and Amber Adams (cc'd), so that the link to apply can be sent to them.

We anticipate the position to start at the end of June or early July and run through January 2022 with the possibility of extension, dependent on funding. This position is a GS-5 technician position with the U.S. Geological Survey Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center that includes two 17-day oar trips through Grand Canyon for riparian vegetation monitoring and one 4-day monitoring trip in Glen Canyon. It is based out of Flagstaff, AZ. July will be spent working on a plant physiological greenhouse experiments and prepping for fall field work. August, September, and October are spent largely in the field. The required field work dates are August 10-13, August 24 - Sept 10, and Sept 29 - October 16. There will be prep before and after each of these field hitches, as well. November, December, January are primarily data entry and management. Experience identifying southwestern plants, conducting ocular cover estimates, managing data, and conducting field work in a remote wilderness setting are required.

I'm happy to answer any further questions.

Vegetation in the riparian zone (the area immediately adjacent to streams, such as stream banks) along the Colorado River downstream of Glen Canyon Dam, Arizona, supports many ecosystem and societal functions. In both Glen Canyon and Grand Canyon, this ecosystem has changed over time in response to flow alterations, invasive species, and recreational use.

The goal of Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center's (part of the Southwest Biological Science Center) riparian vegetation monitoring program is to assess changes and trends in plant species composition and cover and relate those changes to Glen Canyon Dam operations, river hydrology, climate, and geomorphology.
