research. This is a great opportunity to support multiple research projects and researchers seeking to advance our understanding of water resources. The candidate will work both independently and in close collaboration with undergraduates, graduate students,
postdocs, and professors in the two labs. Being in an academic environment means regularly learning new skills and working at the frontier of knowledge. Hence, we do not expect candidates to have experience in all aspects of this job. Training will be provided
to the technician including general research and specific water science skills. This position is full time, funded for multiple years, and based in East Lansing, MI, USA. This position includes an incredible benefits package with some of the best PTO, retirement,
