The Great Basin Institute, in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management’s Battle Mountain District Office, is recruiting an experienced botanist to work cooperatively as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Assignments will include proper functioning condition (PFC) assessments, multiple indicator monitoring (MIM), and drought monitoring. Information collected is used to maintain, restore, and/or improve riparian and upland resource values to achieve a healthy and productive ecological condition. The successful candidate will perform field surveys of riparian habitat and condition; provide written documentation of data, conclusions, and recommendations to maintain/improve watershed conditions; convert field data to digital files via ArcGIS; identify soil types and comment on the relationships between site potential, current vegetation, and expected future conditions; collaborate with interdisciplinary team members to characterize riparian areas, develop conceptual models, identify trends, and fill data gaps. To meet these objectives, GBI is seeking an associate with a solid background in botany, including plant and plant community identification, more specifically riparian, wetland, and aquatic ecology. Additionally, the individual must have a solid understanding of soil science and the inter-relationship between soil type, water availability, and vegetative composition. The candidate’s primary responsibility will be to identify individual riparian plants, describe existing and potential plant communities using soil survey information, interpret vegetation, and detail successional sequences.
