<span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Field work includes working as a member of a two- to four- person team at remote locations in southwestern NM (possibly the southwest) collecting landscape-scale
vegetation inventory and monitoring field data (e.g., plant cover estimates, standardized monitoring methods, digging soil pits and characterizing soils, and determining ecological sites and states). Field work will include extensive travel and overnight stays.
Lab and office work includes data entry, error-checking, creating metadata, data analysis, project and data management and self-directed work. Position will involve the use of ArcGIS, MS Excel, MS Access (DIMA), Survey 123, R and GPS units.</span></div>
