[PCA] Conservation and Restoration Paid Internships

[Erin Gray]

*Conservation and Restoration Paid Internships*

* *

The *Conservation Research Program *at the* Institute for Applied Ecology *(
www.appliedeco.org) will be hiring* *up to three interns this summer for
field work and related activities.  Our paid positions are intended to
provide field experience to individuals considering conservation biology or
restoration ecology as a career. Internships are partially supported by the
Native Plant Society of Oregon, and interns are encouraged to write a short
article for the NPSO Bulletin and contribute to our 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)*. *Internships will start April 9th or
16th.  Internships will last until July 25th, with the potential for an
extension.
