The Institute for Applied Ecology (www.appliedeco.org) is seeking to hire a Research Ecologist 2 with a
diverse skillset to lead several research and monitoring projects to support the recovery of rare plants
(e.g., Nelson’s checkermallow and Kincaid’s lupine) and wildlife (e.g., greater sage–grouse, streaked
horned–lark, Fender’s blue butterfly). The ecologist will be based in Corvallis, Oregon. Projects are
primarily in western Oregon, but additional projects routinely take place throughout other ecoregions
of the state.
The Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) is a dynamic nonprofit organization whose mission is the
conservation of native species and habitats through restoration, research and education. We maintain
an open and convivial office environment with approximately 24 regular staff in our main office in
Corvallis, OR and field office in Santa Fe, NM. We have worked on the front lines of rare species
conservation and restoration for over 20 years! We conduct rigorous research and communicate
results to land managers and others. Our projects range from short–term experiments to decade–long
studies. Our overall goal is to conduct research leading to efficient, long–term conservation and
restoration of native species and habitats and communicate our findings through planning and
outreach.
Studies have shown that Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), women and other marginalized
groups are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every one of the qualifications as
described in a job description. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and
that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. If you are interested in
applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and qualifications for the role.
IAE supports diversity and equity, and we encourage applications from all groups of people. We
recognize that the strength of IAE is in our people, and we believe that every employee has the right to
work in surroundings that are free from all forms of unlawful discrimination and harassment. IAE does
not and will not discriminate in employment and personnel practices, and our commitment to equal
employment opportunity applies to every aspect of the employment relationship.
