While some of the job duties do involve managing grants, the job can be so
much more. When I held this position, I became a national expert on
invasive plants. I helped our botanist with field work, was co-author on
scientific publications, created and managed a comprehensive website on
cyanobacteria and on aquatic weeds. I gave talks to lake groups all over
the state, traveled to out of state conferences, and developed educational
products. The work was highly rewarding personally and professionally. I
only moved on to take on the challenge of invasive species in general and
working with aquatic pesticide permits.
The position deserves a highly motivated and dynamic person with a good
understanding of invasive-weed related issues. A good understanding of
lakes and lake issues is desirable. If you are interested, please go to the

an interest, please forward this announcement to them.
