Florida State University is looking for an experienced botanist to work under
the supervision of FNAI’s senior botanist on an array of applied research
projects supporting land management and conservation in Florida.<span> </span>This is a full time position with full university benefits. Field work will include vegetation sampling,
rare or invasive plant surveys and natural community delineation (GIS
mapping).<span> </span>Work will be conducted on
conservation lands from the Keys to the Panhandle.<span> </span>Work will be split between field and office
time, but will involve a considerable number of long field days in often challenging
conditions – extreme temperatures, humidity, sun, biting insects, dense
vegetation.<span> </span>Candidates must be comfortable
working in small groups, or sometimes alone, in areas with sporadic cell
service, navigating to field sites through difficult terrain, and walking long
distances. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"><span></span></span></p>
