This is being advertised as an 11-month temporary position but has good potential to be renewed annually with continued funding sources. The person in this position will work closely with me on conservation efforts including monitoring, habitat enhancement/restoration, and outreach for monarchs and other at-risk species of Lepidoptera. We also have several at-risk bumble bees identified in our State Wildlife Action Plan.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Please share this job announcement in your circles with those who may be qualified and interested in the opportunity. I am excited to hire someone into this position to help carry out the mission of the MJV and expand our current conservation work for monarchs and other pollinators.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,</p><p class="MsoNormal">Melissa</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calisto MT",serif;color:#2b133d">Melissa Panella</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Wildlife Diversity Program Manager</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Nebraska Game and Parks Commission</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">2200 N. 33<sup>rd</sup> St. | Lincoln, NE 68503 | 402-471-5444</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span></p></div></body></html>
