The Suding lab in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, & 
Management at UC Berkeley are seeking two field assistants for April 1 – 
June 15, 2014 to help with field work studying weed invasions in California 
rangelands in Brown’s valley, California. The project takes a community 
ecology approach to uncovering the constraints to spatial spread in 
rangeland weeds. 

Assistants will help with (1) surveying species composition in grassland 
vegetation, (2) mapping and measuring target exotic plant species, (3) 
managing data, (4) measuring soil moisture, (5) some work with livestock 
measuring cow dispersal of target species and observing foraging and 
movement behavior.  The assistants will perform fieldwork as part of a team 
from the University of California, Berkeley, but will be based at the Sierra 
Foothills Research and Extension Center (SFREC, 
http://ucanr.edu/sites/sfrec/).

For more information, and to apply, see Job # 17307 on the UC Berkeley Jobs 
website. Applications will be reviewed starting on January 30, and will 
continue until position is filled:
