Dear all,</div>
<div style="text-align:left;text-indent:0px;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
USDA has made it possible for us to hire seasonal technician support. The main constraint is a tight timeline—we need to have applicants selected by the end of next week (April 24).</div>

I am looking to fill several positions focused broadly on bee molecular systematics and genomics. Please see the attached flyer and feel free to forward it to anyone who might be interested.</div>
<div style="text-align:left;text-indent:0px;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
These positions may involve:</div>
<ul style="text-align:left">
<li style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Processing museum specimens (imaging, curation, leg sampling)</li><li style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Working in a molecular lab (DNA extraction, NGS library preparation)</li><li style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">

<div style="text-align:left;text-indent:0px;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
The ideal candidates would have some background relevant to these activities. Salary and duration are flexible, but I am hoping to support hires through the summer and potentially through the end of the fiscal year. Candidates must be U.S. citezens.</div>

Thanks very much for your help in sharing this opportunity.</div>
