[SOS-PCA] Kupu/Americorps Seed Lab Tech - 2 Positions

[Dustin Wolkis]

Aloha SOS Community,

We have openings for 2 Americorps/Kupu Seed Lab Techs in my lab at NTBG.
Please see attached flyer for more info.

One position will focus primarily on pollen conservation research, while
being heavily involved in daily seed bank operations. Specifically, the
successful candidate will work with a team to collect pollen of native
Hawaiian species and conduct research into optimal germination media,
desiccation tolerance, and longevity. Results will help support best
practices and facilitate pollen storage as a more widely employed
conservation tool.

The other position will focus on daily seed bank operations and be heavily
involved in pollen conservation research. Specifically, the successful
candidate will work with a team to process incoming seed collections,
perform germination assays, and conduct research seed longevity, storage
behavior, and germination ecology and dormancy.

Apply directly through Kupu/AmeriCorps's Conservation Leadership
Development Program (https://www.kupuhawaii.org/conservation). For
questions and more more information contact Dustin Wolkis at
dwolkis at ntbg.org.

The National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) is a world renowned botanic
