Job Duties
The Forest Ecology and Tree Biology lab in the Department of Forest Resources at the University of Minnesota seeks interested applicants with a background or interest in field biology, ecology, plant ecophysiology, environmental science, forestry, or a related field to take vital roles in several large scale experiments that address restoration of Mississippi River floodplains, understanding oak wilt disease impacts on oak woodlands, interactions between fire and disease, using native plants to control buckthorn, forest responses to climate change and novel disturbances, and more. Duties vary by season and project and may include (90%) establishing new experiments (site delineation and planting); Re-locating experimental units; monitoring the growth of experimental plants, both buckthorn and planted species; vegetation and tree disease surveys, collecting environmental data with sensor networks, measuring plant species composition; weeding experimental plots; maintaining deer fences; removing fallen trees; and generally assisting with experimental needs. There may also be lab sample processing and data entry (10%). Employees will work as a team (or occasionally solo, for example with data entry), supervised by Dr. Rebecca Montgomery or Dr. Mike Schuster, depending on the project. This job can have non-standard hours due to the nature of field research so people should be comfortable with a sometimes unpredictable work schedule and possess a positive attitude for long field days.
