We are seeking an enthusiastic and organized person with a strong work ethic and passion for science-driven bird conservation.

The successful candidate will develop a greater understanding of coastal bird ecology as well as the range of anthropogenic and other factors that affect their nesting success, survival and fitness; and integrate and collaborate with the broader conservation community across the Texas coast.
