Kremen Lab is field testing restoration protocols designed to restore floral and
nesting resources needed by native bees on farms in Yolo County, CA. Due to the
collaborative nature of this project, this position is an ideal opportunity for
a highly motivated individual who is interested in applied research, habitat
restoration, pollinator ecology, and/or botany. Responsibilities will include
field monitoring of native bees (including specimen collection and curation),
data management, plant care (watering), seed harvesting and counting, GPS data
collection, vegetation surveys, plant specimen collection and curation for
voucher specimens, and working with citizen scientists to test simplified
monitoring protocols. <U>This position may be extended with the possibility of
promotion after August.</U><BR>FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO APPLY: visit <A
