Lab Coordinator needed to assist with data managment, spatial data analysis, and research support for two dynamic research groups whose focus includes spatial ecology and the conservation and management of species and ecosystems (both aquatic and terrestrial). A major near-term project will involve building a geospatial database for wetland and stream mitigation sites and associated attributes (e.g., water quality, riparian condition, watershed characteristics). However, the Lab Coordinator will ultimately assist with a variety of research projects (esp. managment and manipulation of spatial data layers and species datasets from many areas around the world) and general lab managment (incl. web site managment, project managment, student assistance, field assistance, etc.). For a sense of the kind of work we do, see (https://nibbelinklab.wixsite.com/spatialecologylab) and
