Become part of Hawaii’s conservation story
Field Technician for Community Ecology and Seed Dispersal
Full Time
We are seeking 3-4 field biologists to work on a research project on Oahu, Hawaii. The project is a multi-disciplinary effort investigating seed dispersal networks comprised of interacting native and non-native plant and vertebrate species in Hawaiian mesic and wet forest ecosystems. Specifically, the project will focus on (1) identifying and quantifying vertebrate (birds and rats) seed dispersers and their interactions, (2) radio-telemetry of key seed dispersers, and (3) evaluating/predicting effects of seed disperser movements and diet preference on vegetation communities. The candidate selected for this position will work on a field crew of 4-7 people including other technicians, interns, and graduate students. Must be able to work in rugged terrain in challenging field conditions.
