Start Date: 8/5/2024
Location: Santa Fe, NM
Status: Regular, full-time
Job classification: Ecologist 2
Supervisor: Southwest Branch Director
Compensation: $27/hour
Plus, competitive benefits package, including travel expenses associated with overnight field work (food and lodging), paid holidays, and paid time off (sick and vacation leave)
Position Description
The Southwest Restoration Ecologist will lead pollinator habitat restoration projects throughout New Mexico and may contribute to restoration projects in Arizona. A major project in 2024-2025 this Ecologist leads is IAE’s River for Monarchs. This project involves implementing restoration at 16 sites along the Rio Grande corridor; maintaining diverse partnerships with 20+ project partners (including federal agencies, Pueblos, and NGOs); acquiring plant materials; conducting pre- and post-restoration vegetation and pollinator monitoring; and coordinating seed collection crews, volunteers, and horticultural education workshops for students growing plants for restoration. This position will involve a combination of field- and office-based work and occasional overnight travel. The Ecologist is expected to contribute to grant and report writing, pollinator outreach/education, and budget management. While restoration is the focus, the Ecologist will support other plant conservation program projects depending on the candidate’s interests and experience. These projects may include native seed collection and processing, rare plant surveys, long-term vegetation monitoring, and plant materials or restoration research.
This is a full-time, regular position that requires occasional overnight camping and non-traditional work hours, sometimes inclusive of weekend and evening hours.
