Hi All,
I’m hiring an early-career restoration ecologist position through the Great Basin Institute Restoration Ecology Lead (NPS, North Cascades National Park) The position is through a youth agreement and has age restrictions, see below. Term is 1 year with potential to extend.
The ecologist will assist in planning, prioritizing, monitoring and maintaining the many ongoing and needed restoration projects within North Cascades National Park Complex. They will have an opportunity to work on hydroelectric project-related erosion, degraded wetland, and dam decommissioning restoration efforts, seed collection and management for post-fire restoration, and high elevation meadow restoration. They will be part of the vegetation program here with the opportunity to contribute to other management and monitoring projects and to work with an interdisciplinary team.
Anticipated start date is mid-March, with flexibility. The ecologist will have to spend a lot of time in Marblemount during the field season, but there’s an opportunity to telework in the off seasons, with continued work required in the park as needed.
Thank you!
Beth
