Natural Resources Job Board

This isn’t your average desk job. Based in the rugged and beautiful Hill Country near Leakey, TX, this role puts you at the heart of field-based wildlife research. You’ll drive real conservation impact by working alongside local landowners, managing remote camera arrays, coordinating field teams, and collecting data critical to rangeland and wildlife management. If you are seeking a role with opportunities to publish, lead independent research, participate in a variety of field work opportunities, and learn how to coordinate research teams in remote locations, this is the job for you. While you have the opportunity to establish an independent research footprint of your own, you will also be supervised by professors with a track record of guiding students to their dream jobs. 

Join a fast-moving team of applied ecologists across a range of disciplines, and lead boots-on-the-ground science with purpose!
