The candidate will have the opportunity to engage in research that supports the conservation of imperiled species or ecosystems in Northeastern Illinois, or that advances knowledge of urban ecosystems. Research interests that incorporate citizen science are especially welcome. The scientist will be responsible for providing content expertise for the development of museum exhibits, serving as a representative of their research to the print, broadcast, and online media, and speaking on a range of topics to diverse audiences. We are seeking an individual with a proven publication record, a history of successfully funding their work, a good working knowledge of the ecosystems of the Chicago region, and a clear vision for the future of their conservation research.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:9.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:13.5pt;background:white;box-sizing:
