Good morning,

Puget Sound Restoration Fund (PSRF) is hiring two new positions to join our Oyster and Bull Kelp restoration programs. The two techs will work with our team to develop and implement restoration projects, monitoring campaigns, and applied research in the laboratory and field.

Habitat Programs Lab Technician: The Lab Technician will spend 2-3 days per week at the Kenneth K. Chew Center for Shellfish Research and Restoration that PSRF operates at NOAA’s Manchester Research Station on the Kitsap Peninsula. There, they will work in the kelp laboratory, maintaining and using macroalgae cultures for research and restoration. The remainder of the time will be spent supporting other field and program activities. You’ll find the full position description here [download .pdf here]. Please share widely! Applications are due March 3rd, 2023.

Habitat Programs Field Technician: The Field Technician will dive into intertidal and subtidal fieldwork this spring and summer at various locations across Puget Sound, doing work on beaches, from small boats, and with SCUBA. In the non-field season, the technician will assist with data entry and management, sample processing, laboratory work, and other projects. Please read the full position description here [download .pdf here] and apply by March 3rd, 2023.

Both of these positions will work on the Habitat team (my team!), so I’m happy to field any questions. I can be reached at jessi@restorationfund.org.

Thank you and be well,

Jessi Florendo
