The technician will be part of the Native Seed Program team at SGI and will report to the Native Seed Program Director. Specifically, the Technicians will be responsible for helping plan and perform seed collections for the Seeds of Success (SOS) national program, as part of a field crew led by the Native Seed Program Manager; and for assisting with other indoor activities, such as native seed cleaning and processing, small event organization (such as workshops), and plant propagation. The Technician is expected to spend 65% of their time in the field and 35% in indoor facilities to perform the other activities. Some travelling will be expected to reach distant plant populations in the target 10-state region (AL, AR, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, and VA), with possible overnight stay. Expenses related to travelling, such as transportation, lodging and per diem will be covered through the Program’s funding. This is a part-time, seasonal position averaging 29 hours/week for 35 weeks (8 months). We are able to offer a housing stipend of $600/month for 8 month. The Technician will be expected to interact and sometimes work closely with other members of SGI, such as the Volunteer Coordinator and the Communication Officer. The work will be performed in-person both in the field and in the indoor facilities. Working from home will be possible for few, specific desk-based tasks. SGI, part of the Center of Excellence for Field Biology at Austin Peay State University, is a young and dynamic organization where we celebrate, support and strive to promote diversity, equality and inclusion, and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
