CNPS is looking to hire at least two Lead Field Botanists and three Assistant Field Botanists. These are full‐time positions that would be supervised by the Vegetation Field Data Specialist or Vegetation Ecologist. The positions include eight months of work, beginning in February or March 2024, and may be extended beyond a year depending on funding. The positions will survey and map California’s diverse flora and vegetation assemblages, implement different vegetation sampling methods to collect field data, identify plants to the species and subspecies/variety level, identify soil and hydrologic characteristics, voucher plant specimens, collect and process native plant seeds, and enter/manage field data.
The CNPS Vegetation Program supports vegetation sampling, classification, mapping, and monitoring across California. Our statewide system has been developed over the past 25 years by CNPS and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and is used by both governmental and non-governmental institutions to map, categorize, describe, and rank rarity of vegetation. We also collaborate with a variety of other local, state and national entities on fine-scale mapping, long-term monitoring, and data analysis including with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)’s Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring program. At the heart of our efforts is A Manual of California Vegetation; originally a hard-copy reference, this resource is now available and regularly updated online.
