Hola California SEEDS Chapters,

 I wanted to let you know about a new conservation job/internship (see
below) position here at Stanford University that might be of interest to
your early career SEEDS students from your chapters. I took the liberty of
using Esbeiry's email list to contact you all. I also added two colleagues
that I have worked with in the past, Albert Ruhi (UC Berkeley) and Naupaka
Zimmerman (USF) that are supporters of SEEDS and are also ecologists here
in the Bay Area.

 Apologies for missing most of the meeting last month, I do my field
work/virtual education material collection on Wednesdays and then add
poison oak and poor cell signal... lets just say that day was a rough day.
Happy to connect with you all again very soon!

 Saludos y gracias,

Jorge

monitoring, database management, maintenance of field equipment,
interaction with the public and collaborating entities, and basic tasks
related to the promotion of biological conservation within a dynamic urban
environment. A successful candidate will be responsible, prompt, positive,

federally listed species. The Conservation Technician will report to the
Conservation Program Manager and the Conservation Program Coordinator.

*All staff must abide by COVID-19 protocols set by Stanford University and

•  Driver’s license valid in California

•  Demonstrated interest in the field of biology/ecology

•  Willingness to execute physically rigorous field work
