The Fellow will help coordinate and conduct summer field soil and vegetation surveys, help analyze and interpret soil physical, chemical, and biological responses, prepare manuscripts for publication, and proposals for external grants. The ideal candidate will have field experience in soil sampling or vegetation surveys, research experience in soil health, nematode ecology, and/or molecular biology, experience with computing software (e.g. R, Python), and experience in publishing first-authored papers. The position is eligible for remote work.
