*JOIN US!*

Come join a growing team of conservation professionals at the Xerces
Society who are dedicated to protecting some of the world’s most important
animals. We are seeking a motivated expert who can join our team of
Endangered Species and pollinator conservation specialists in California
and launch a statewide bumble bee atlas community science project with an
eye toward comprehensive conservation planning for California’s bumble bees.



At Xerces, we harness the knowledge of scientists and the enthusiasm of the
public to implement conservation programs.  We take action by helping farms
and public agencies develop conservation plans for pollinators and
beneficial insects, producing ground-breaking publications on insect
conservation, training thousands of farmers and land managers to protect
and manage habitat for beneficial insects, protecting endangered species
and their habitat, and engaging the public to raise awareness about
invertebrates found on farms, forests, prairies, deserts, streams,
wetlands, towns and cities. Our methods focus on habitat conservation
planning, education, scientific analysis, advocacy, and applied research to
conserve invertebrates, such as bees, butterflies, mollusks, and fireflies.



*WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING: *

Reporting to the Xerces Society’s Endangered Species Program Bumble Bee
Lead (Portland, OR office) and working in collaboration with the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife, other regional bumble bee atlas field
staff, the Xerces Society’s California staff, the Endangered Species
Conservation Biologist will launch a new initiative to conduct a statewide
bumble bee atlas project in California using community science.



Building off the success of the Xerces Society’s bumble bee atlas projects
in the Pacific Northwest, Nebraska, and Missouri, the successful candidate,
working with state and regional partners, will develop and manage a
statewide community science project, use emerging science (from this
project and beyond) to develop effective land management strategies for
bumble bees and other pollinators throughout California, and support the
Pacific Northwest bumble bee atlas.



The Endangered Species Conservation Biologist will collaboratively focus on
developing and implementing sampling protocols, coordinating and
communicating with partners and community scientists, organizing and
delivering training events, conducting field-based habitat and bumble bee
surveys, and identifying bumble bees from photographs submitted by project
participants. The successful applicant will also conduct outreach to
California’s diverse communities to encourage participation in this
community science project and other conservation initiatives that support
the mission of the Xerces Society. The ideal candidate will have excellent
outreach and presentation skills, as well as experience managing community
science programs, developing and conducting field-based pollinator research
projects, developing and implementing evidence-based conservation plans,
and have extensive experience identifying bumble bees (*Bombus* spp.) that
occur in the western U.S. This position will be based in the Xerces Society
Field Office in Sacramento, CA (other nearby locations will also be
considered).
