Position Summary:
Summary: American Conservation Experience, a nonprofit Conservation Corps, in partnership with New River Gorge National Park and Preserve (NERI), is seeking ONE Aquatic Ecology Member to assist with water quality monitoring, laboratory analyses, collection of dragonfly nymphs for mercury analysis, data management, and occasional opportunities to assist with collection of benthic macroinvertebrates or fish alongside the NERI Natural Resource Management staff.
We are growing our conservation team at The Nature Conservancy in Vermont with a new position: River Restoration Coordinator. The position will help the chapter implement strategic projects to increase the protection of climate resilient and connected lands, and restore resilient freshwater systems.
The main purpose of this position is to support MANTA’s Benthic Monitoring Section. In this capacity, this position helps manage, coordinate, conduct and provide finished products for the Core/Trend Benthic Monitoring Program, Maryland Biological Stream Survey Program, Maryland Stream Waders Program and products provided to clients outside of DNR. The work of this position provides statewide coverage to assess ambient water quality and long-term changes in water quality based upon freshwater benthic macroinvertebrates.
The MU Limnology Lab in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) and Horn Point Lab (HPL) in the Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) are seeking an enthusiastic post-doctoral candidate to work on a 3-year NASA funded research project. The overarching goal of the project is to assess the efficacy and accuracy of remotely sensed data to predict water quality metrics in Missouri reservoirs.
The Pillsbury lab at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is recruiting a Master's student as part of a broader study (funded by the Michigan Invasive Species Grant Program) to enhance our understanding of the current spread and future rick of the alga Didymosphenia geminata (Rock Snot) in Northern Michigan. The student will assist with this work as well as develop their own project that experimentally investigates potential triggers that cause this alga to bloom. This work could be used to implement innovative and effective control and management strategies.
