NatureServe, an international nonprofit conservation organization, is
seeking a Research Botanist to join its team of scientists. This is a
half-time position with the possibility of becoming full-time in the summer
or fall of 2010. The Research Botanist assesses and reviews the conservation
status of rare North American plants and contributes to a diverse array of
projects and analyses that use this information to influence conservation
decisions. Frequent clients/partners include U.S. and Canadian Federal land
management agencies, as well as more local conservation groups and
university-based conservation researchers.
The ideal candidate will have a M.S. in botany or in biology/ecology with a
botanical emphasis, at least one year of experience working in a botanical
field, a working knowledge of some portion of the North American flora,
knowledge of systematic concepts, and excellent research and communication
skills.
NatureServe's mission-focused, collaborative atmosphere motivates staff to
contribute their best efforts to make a positive impact on some of the
world's most pressing environmental issues. We offer a competitive nonprofit
benefits package that includes a 401(k) savings and retirement plan with
matching contributions; health and dental insurance; short and long-term
disability; annual and sick leave; and life insurance.
NatureServe is located in Arlington, Virginia just outside Washington, D.C.,
in a location easily accessible by foot, bike, or public transportation. If
