The Illinois Natural History Survey is looking for graduating or recently graduated students interested in gaining experience as research technicians in aquatic ecology and fisheries biology. Our lab works on a diverse set of projects conducted within lakes, rivers, and streams throughout Illinois, and our technicians gain significant experience in the field and laboratory before going on to graduate school or professional positions with state and federal agencies. Many of our projects are collaborations with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the US Army Corps of Engineers. We also have seasonal positions with housing available for students that are still in school.
