Puget Sound Partnership Has 2 Jobs

The Puget Sound Partnership (PSP; an exciting ecosystem recovery effort
in Washington State--http://www.psp.wa.gov/) is advertising two new
positions--(1) a lead for developing a monitoring program that covers
human and natural system indicators, and (2) a science program manager

implementation of key strategies to recover the watersheds and marine
systems in Puget Sound.

These positions are open to those with Master's or PhD, and salary is
