National Native Bee Monitoring Network <br>
<br>
The Woodard Lab in the Department of Entomology at the
University of California, Riverside is <br>
recruiting a Data Technician to focus on data science support
for the National Native Bee <br>
Monitoring Research Coordination Network (RCN). The RCN is being
formed to coordinate and <br>
support existing and future native bee monitoring efforts across
the US, with the goal of <br>
advancing national bee biodiversity conservation and food
security. Specifically, the RCN will <br>
lead the native bee research and monitoring community in working
together to develop the U.S. <br>
National Native Bee Monitoring Plan. This plan will include
standardized protocols ranging from <br>
field sampling to data management, and will be guided by the
diverse aims and needs of the <br>
various agencies and other groups who are currently monitoring
native bees, or plan to do so. <br>
The Data Technician will work with the RCN co-organizers (see
below) primarily to facilitate data <br>
entry and management by RCN members, assist with website
development and meeting <br>
organization, and to help to co-author sections of the U.S.
National Bee Monitoring Plan. <br>
Depending on background and expertise, the technician may also
assist with two additional <br>
aims of the RCN: (1) review and synthesize standardized
collection protocols for bee <br>
monitoring, and/or (2) identify “hotspots” in the US where
monitoring efforts should be <br>
prioritized. <br>
<br>
Necessary qualifications: <br>
● Experience in data entry and management <br>
● Effective written and oral communication skills <br>
● Excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to work in a
team <br>
Desired qualifications: <br>
● Proficiency in R for data management, cleaning, and
manipulation <br>
● Proficiency in GIS/mapping approaches <br>
● Experience supervising and mentoring undergraduate researchers
<br>
Start date is May 1, 2020 (with some flexibility). The position
is primarily located in Riverside, <br>
CA, but the technician will also travel to other labs of
RCN-organizers (see below) part-time and <br>
will travel to national meetings (e.g., Entomological Society of
America, Ecological Society of <br>
America). The appointment is initially for one year and is
renewable up to a total of two years <br>
based on performance. Salaries are commensurate with experience
and based on minimums <br>
set by the University of California postdoctoral union.
