The Conservation Research Program at the Institute for Applied Ecology will be hiring up to three interns this summer for field work and related activities. These paid positions are intended to provide field experience to individuals considering conservation biology or restoration ecology as a career. Interns are encouraged to write a short article for the Native Plant Society of Oregon Bulletin and contribute to the institute’s research blog. Interns will work on a variety of projects throughout the state of Oregon, including rare plant habitat surveys, threatened and endangered species research and monitoring, and invasive species research. Approximately 50% of the work is conducted out-of-town/overnight (accommodations include both hotels and primitive camping sites).
