Minimum qualifications are a MS degree in Botany, Plant Sciences, Ecology, or a related field; 3 years of relevant experience; and a valid U.S. driver’s license with a motor vehicle record compliant with UW policy. The WYNDD Botanist is expected to reside in or near Laramie, Wyoming, and maintain an office in the WYNDD suite on the University of Wyoming campus. Starting salary will be $65,000-$72,000 plus benefits annually depending on experience and qualifications.
