Must have a working knowledge of standard computer spreadsheet and related programs. Should be able to lift 30-50 pounds, and conduct field work in rough terrain in a range of weather conditions. Must hold a valid driver's license. Minimum qualifications consist of an Associate's degree in biological science, environmental science, or a related field with 1-2 years' experience; a B.S. with 2-4 years of related experience is strongly preferred.
