Environmental Scientist

Large-scale tidal wetland restoration undertaken by the Fish Restoration Program (FRP) in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh is meant to provide food resources and habitat for endangered and threatened fishes, but will it? Join the team conducting the effectiveness monitoring to answer that question! The FRP Monitoring Team is seeking a highly motivated scientist to lead the charge in assessing how water quality and the lower food web respond to wetland restoration. The position involves leading periodically intense bouts of boat-based field work, wrangling and analysis of large datasets, writing for multiple audiences, and collaborating with scientists from a variety of disciplines and organizations. Your teammates would include a close-knit small team of Environmental Scientists leading similar program components focused on support of native fish communities. Apply by the final filing date for the opportunity to make a difference in the understanding and management of one of California's most dynamic and impacted ecosystems.
