Dear friends and colleagues,

We are looking to hire a technician to work on a collaborative project
studying the evolution of the seasonal germination niche in a group of
native wildflowers (*Streptanthus*) with Annie Schmitt, Sharon Strauss, and
Julin Maloof.   This is an ideal position for a recent graduate looking for
research experience before graduate school.

Responsibilities include carrying out experiments in the field, lab, and
controlled environment chambers, collecting field data and plant tissues,
propagating plants and maintaining experimental populations.  Field work
will include plant surveys and collections of plant specimens and seeds.  The
technician will also oversee student assistants, manage databases, and
perform basic statistical analyses, as well as coordinate supplies,
equipment, and safety protocols.

*Requirements*:  College-level course-work or equivalent
experience/training in plant-related biological sciences or field biology.
The applicant must possess excellent written and oral communication and
strong organizational skills.  Must be able to organize and coordinate lab,
greenhouse, controlled chamber, and field research.  Experience accurately
recording, organizing, coordinating and curating data for analysis and
reporting required, as well as skills to problem solve and trouble shoot,
and ability to work independently and as a member of a research team.  Research
experience with plants, especially germination experiments, phenology, and
field surveys preferred, as is experience using R software for data
management and statistical analyses, experience working with herbarium
specimens, and molecular biology lab experience working with DNA and/or
RNAseq.

This is a full-time position.  Starting date can be immediately or as soon
as possible, with a proposed duration of one year with possibility of
