We seek a full-time research assistant to provide support for a diverse set of projects related to environmental sciences, including analyses of long-term ecological data, frequently but not always with a focus on freshwater science. Responsibilities will include managing, documenting, and publishing data sets; collaborating on analyses of existing data; and assisting with project management and logistics.
The research assistant will be located at WSU’s Pullman campus and will work with Dr. Stephanie Hampton. Ideally the position will begin on 1 June 2015 to allow a period of overlap and training with the outgoing research assistant. Required Qualifications: The successful candidate will possess a Bachelor’s degree in biology, environmental sciences, or a related discipline; a high level of attention to detail; good interpersonal skills; and experience managing or analyzing data using R. Preferred Qualifications: Additional desirable qualifications include experience with database management and statistical analysis, familiarity with version control systems (e.g. git), interest in science communication and social media. To Apply: Please email a cover letter, current CV or resume, and contact information for three references to Dr. Stephanie Hampton (s.hamp...@wsu.edu) with the subject header “Application for Research Assistant".
