Our workplace is an exciting and challenging environment, where everyone is encouraged to learn and contribute. We are a committed team who supports each other and works together to make a real impact on communities and the environment.
Environmental Researcher (Unpaid Internship)
Are you working on a thesis, paper, community service project, dissertation, or other research project? Do your interests pertain to data management, community involvement in open space, non-profit outreach, weed management, invasive plant control, or fostering biodiversity? Are you a self-motivated, organized researcher? If so, let's talk!
This is not a paid position, but rather, an opportunity for you to conduct your own academic and/or personal research in a supportive environment and with a meaningful context. Sample projects include measuring effectiveness of different methods of invasive plant control, GIS mapping, database research and implementation, minimizing impacts of recreation use, best practices in volunteer coordination, and compiling field guides or summarized literature reviews of specific plants or areas in ecological restoration. In addition, we have a wide variety of research needs, encompassing foothill oak woodland, riparian, ponded, and other habitats.
If interested, please contact arastradero*acterra.org. Please include your: basic contact and academic information, the nature of the project you're working on, and background information about your interests and goals.
Feel free to forward! Thanks for your time and interest.
