The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) at Florida State University is looking for a senior level research scientist who will be responsible for managing, coordinating, and conducting applied research to inform conservation land management and rare species conservation in Florida. The position will coordinate with agency partners, assist with funding acquisition, plan project work considering time and budget constraints, supervise FNAI field scientists, prepare reports, and present project findings. They will have the opportunity to work on a variety of conservation focused botanical, zoological, and ecological projects depending on their capabilities, however, the position’s initial primary responsibility will be oversight of a project to assess invasive plant cover on conservation lands across the state and to develop associated invasive plant management plans. This position may assist with other currently funded projects including rare plant surveys, invasive plant surveys, gopher tortoise surveys, avian surveys, camera trapping of herps and mammals, vegetation monitoring, conservation easement monitoring, and natural (vegetative) community mapping. Unlike similar positions at other institutions, FNAI research scientists enjoy the opportunity to spend a substantial amount of time in the field, traveling up to 50% of work time. The position will have the occasional opportunity to publish but, given FNAI’s applied focus, our goal is to provide specific results needed to inform conservation decisions, so our work generally does not address broader ecological questions of academic interest. The incumbent will be expected to foster relationships with land managing agencies; determine their information needs; and develop cooperative, mutually beneficial, contract and grant funded projects.
A Bachelor's degree and three years of experience; or a high school diploma or equivalent and seven years of experience. (Note: a combination of post high school education and experience equal to seven years.)
Preferred Qualifications The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) is Florida's Natural Heritage Program and state member of the NatureServe network. We are housed within the Florida Resources and Environmental Analysis Center at Florida State University. FNAI maintains a spatial database of information on Florida's rarest species and conservation lands and works on an array of applied research projects to inform conservation and land management decisions. Our funding is provided by contracts and grants from state and federal agency partners.
Our office is located off campus in Midtown, which is centrally located near shops, restaurants, and historic neighborhoods. The larger Tallahassee region offers many outdoor recreation opportunities in the nearby Apalachicola National Forest and a number of coastal parks and refuges within a short drive from town.
