About Us

The Konza Prairie Biological Station (www.konza.ksu.edu), located 10 miles from the university, is a world-class field station focused on understanding the long-term ecological dynamics of tallgrass prairie. Konza Prairie provides numerous opportunities for ecological- or evolutionarily-oriented research, supports a large K-12 environmental education program, serves as a platform for local, national, and international scientists, and is the site of an NSF-funded LTER program and the National Ecological Observatory Network.

Why Join Us:

We are a strong group of highly collaborative faculty members with research interests in tallgrass prairie ecology and conservation as well as other areas of ecology, evolution, and environmental biology.

Relevant faculty members are also associated with the undergraduate inter-disciplinary Environmental Science program, the

Kansas State University has a commitment to principles of community, and is dedicated to professional growth. While specific benefits may vary by position, many roles come with comprehensive packages that support your well-being and work-life balance, including health and life insurance, a retirement plan, and generous paid time off.
