Botanist Romania
Operation Wallacea is a network of academics from European and North American universities who design and implement biodiversity and conservation management research programmes across 10 countries worldwide.
We are currently recruiting for a botanist to work at our Romania site in the beautiful traditional agricultural and grassland ecosystems of the Tarna Marve valley. We have one position available for just over 1 month (21st June – 23rd July).
The position will involve carrying out botanical surveys (with a particular focus on key indicator species) at study sites located around several villages in the Tarna Marve Valley. Data collected forms part of our large-scale monitoring programme within the Romania study area. The successful applicant will also train university and school students in data collection methods, and facilitate their full participation in the botany surveys.
Applicants should have experience of working in the field, a biological undergraduate degree level or higher, and specific experience with European plant species.
In return, successful applicants receive full accommodation and food on-site, potential current and future research opportunities, networking and skills development, and of course the opportunity to contribute towards long-term conservation efforts.
The position will be filled when we find a suitable candidate, so if you are interested, please apply as soon as you can to give yourself the best chance. The position involves working with minors, so if successful, you will be asked to complete a background check.
