We're hiring a Deputy Director to lead some of our larger projects, including developing a new Living Lab (read more about our Beyond Yellowstone Living Lab here). We are particularly interested in candidates with significant experience developing, directing, and fundraising for large, interdisciplinary, and applied research programs. First review is 10/20 - apply now!
We are thrilled to announce Tucker Russell as the new Tribal Liasion on our team. He previously collaborated with the Beyond Yellowstone Living Lab and conducted research on the Wind River Indian Reservation, while pursuing his Master of Science at the University of Wyoming.
"I'm looking forward to developing and implementing research that targets specific problems to benefit the environment, people, and wildlife that share these spaces. Such work requires building diverse relationships with Tribes, private landowners, and public land managers. Through these partnerships, we can develop a diverse knowledge base to address complex ecological issues and conserve wild landscapes for generations to come." - Tucker Russell
