The CNPS Vegetation Program is hiring two full-time positions with varying experience levels directly supervised by the Vegetation Program Manager. The position(s) include at least 12 months of work, beginning in December 2024, and are likely to be extended based upon an expectation of future funding. The positions include a full-time, non-exempt Associate Vegetation Ecologist position and a full-time, exempt Vegetation Data Specialist position. If the applicant pool does not include candidates who meet the additional qualifications for the Vegetation Data Specialist role, CNPS may offer two Associate Vegetation Ecologist positions instead.
Both positions are responsible for supporting regional vegetation inventory, classification, mapping, and monitoring efforts focused on either southwestern or northern California in addition to other areas, through the coordination of field missions and the promotion of the Manual of California Vegetation and Sensitive Natural Communities Initiative. Areas of focus for field work include a) Santa Barbara to San Diego and b) Mendocino to Lake counties. Areas of focus for office work (data compilation, analysis, and reporting) extend across northern California (including Humboldt to Modoc counties). These are remote positions that require the final applicants live and work in California.
The positions require detail-oriented individuals to coordinate fieldwork and crews in vegetation inventory and mapping efforts, to assist in vegetation fieldwork in key ecological regions, to organize and integrate vegetation data in regional efforts, to analyze/classify and describe vegetation, and to increase training, outreach, and communication on California’s vegetation. The positions will typically work independently and have the opportunity to lead teams of 4+ staff, partners, and/or volunteers, in the office or in the field. Other responsibilities include training staff, students, and/or volunteers on data collection, data entry, vegetation community classification, and Geographic Information System (GIS) tasks using CNPS vegetation methods and related work (e.g., range map production & rarity evaluation of vegetation types, plant identification & specimen collection).
Required travel and time in the field will account for 10 – 25% of annualized responsibilities. Field work is seasonal with the concentration of required travel occurring during Spring, Summer, or Fall. Work travel is paid.
To qualify for the Vegetation Data Specialist position, candidates must have at least 6 years of professional experience in a directly related field (excluding college coursework) and prior experience supervising staff. The Vegetation Data Specialist will oversee 2 or more direct reports, providing mentorship and managing their performance.
