Yosemite’s vegetation program is hiring a temporary biological science technician to work on invasive plant control and native plant restoration. The work covers treating invasive plants, collecting and growing native plants in a nursery and outplanting them, and gathering vegetation data in the field and with GIS software. Backcountry travel runs roughly 10 to 21 days a month, and the higher grade leads field crews and plans multi-day trips. You need a year of specialized experience at the next lower grade or qualifying graduate study. The appointment is temporary, up to a year and extendable, with entry expected around February to March 2027. Pay is $26.91 to $38.64 an hour; park housing may be available but is not guaranteed.
