Research Associate - Bozeman, United States - Montana State University, Inc
Description
Abundant and diverse wildlife populations are a defining feature of southwestern Montana's landscape, and almost all of the region's wildlife depends upon working rangeland landscapes for its survival.
The region is home to more livestock than people, and almost all of these livestock are raised in rangeland-based ranching systems.
Range livestock agriculture is the dominant land use in the region and critically important to the region's economy and culture.
Thus, southwestern Montana's economy, culture, and its wildlife all depend upon ranching that is ecologically sustainable, socially responsible, and economically viable.
Southwestern Montana's wildlife has flourished in large part due to the collaborative conservation ethic embodied by the region's citizens.This ethic strives to integrate wildlife, ranching, recreation and other uses while respecting the health of the land and the people who rely on the land.
Montana State University has a long and distinguished history of working with ranchers, conservation organizations, state and federal resource management agencies, and others to help people find common ground and devise collaborative solutions to rangeland management challenges.
Southwestern Montana's sagebrush country is a vast, vibrant place, where sagebrush habitat captures precious snowpack delivered to the headwater tributaries of the Missouri River and provides habitat and migratory corridors for a diverse array of wildlife species, including grizzly bear, pronghorn, elk, sage-grouse, and Arctic grayling.
Across the West, 50% of historic sagebrush habitat has been lost and another 1.3 million acres continues to be lost every year.
However, southwestern Montana encompasses some of the most intact, diverse, and productive sagebrush steppe remaining in the American West and therefore the world.
Current SMSP rangeland restoration projects needing more robust measurement of ecological and socioeconomic outcomes include efforts to suppress conifer expansion, suppress invasive annual grasses, and using low-tech tools for riparian and stream restoration.
New restoration efforts are underway to apply improved livestock grazing management strategies to more than 250,000 acres.This research associate position will develop and implement monitoring plans to match each of these restoration strategies for application across private and public lands.
Duties and Responsibilities
Develop and implement monitoring plans at multiple spatial scales to evaluate ecological and socioeconomic outcomes resulting from rangeland restoration practices.
Build strong interpersonal relationships and promote coordination, collaboration, and communication among team members, partner organizations, and other stakeholders.

Project management, including tracking work progress and maintaining detailed and organized record keeping.
