[SOS-PCA] Job Opportunity - Institute of Applied Ecology Seed Collection Crew

[Hill, Sarah E]

Posted on behalf of IAE:


Do you love plants and wildlife? Are you inspired by hands-on work in conserving and restoring threatened and endangered species and critical habitats? The Institute for Applied Ecology is hiring multiple seasonal positions for our 2024 field season! The Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE), a non-profit organization, has been actively engaged in the conservation of native species and habitats through restoration, research, and education for over 20 years. We fill a unique niche in this field by working with a diverse group of partners including federal, state and county agencies and municipalities to accomplish our mission.


Our Southwest Office (IAE SW) works in New Mexico and Arizona. We cultivate partnerships to facilitate large-scale, regional conservation projects, develop ecologically appropriate sources of native seed, offer native species education opportunities and materials, provide technical assistance to restoration and management planning and implementation, and conduct on-the-ground habitat restoration and applied research.


IAE Southwest is hiring two crews consisting of one Crew Lead and two Crew Technicians each for the 2024 seed collection season in Santa Fe and Carlsbad, New Mexico (May-November)! The crews will travel either in the Chihuahuan Desert Ecoregion or the Arizona/New Mexico Plateau ecoregion collecting plant materials to be used in restoration and research.

If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and qualifications for the role.
