The USDA Agricultural Research Service is seeking a permanent, full-time Ecologist as lead investigator in plant community restoration. The position is at the Northern Plains Agricultural Research Laboratory with the Pest Management Research Unit in Sidney MT. We expect the selected candidate to lead a research program that develops methods of restoration that promote productive, sustainable rangelands that are resistant to weed invasion. Plant communities of concern currently include low agricultural-input rangelands impacted by resource extraction activities and invasive plants. The candidate must have strong publication, collaborative and stakeholder-interaction skills. The mission of the laboratory is to develop and implement ecologically based strategies, technologies, and products for the sustainable management of insects, pests, and weeds in crops and rangeland. Our location houses a team of highly collaborative and enthusiastic scientists and support staff working in the fields of ecology, botany, entomology, pollinator resources, population genetics and agronomy. The position is advertised at the GS-12 or 13 level ($74K or $88K starting salary), includes full government benefits, has promotion potential to GS-15, and is open to all U.S. Citizens and Nationals. Please apply on USAJobs (www.usajobs.gov; Job Announcement Number: ARS-D19PA-10604118-KA). Ad opens Sept. 18 and closes on Oct. 3, 2019. Questions?
