We’re Scaling. And We Need the Right People.

Monarch Research is entering its next phase of growth.

Over the past several years, our work in Linn County has expanded significantly. Since the 2020 derecho, we’ve helped plant more than 125,000 native trees, strengthened habitat restoration efforts, expanded programming, and deepened partnerships across the region.

As our programs grow, so does the need for leadership capacity.

We are hiring for two key roles that will help guide Monarch Research through this next stage of scaling and impact.

Research Station Manager

Lead the living heart of our fieldwork.

Monarch Research is seeking a Research Station Manager to steward the day-to-day operations of the Monarch Research Station and guide hands-on conservation across the monarch life cycle .

This is not a desk-bound management role.

It is field boots and data sheets. Habitat maintenance and organism care. Seasonal monitoring and community science. It is someone who understands that ecological restoration is both rigorous and relational.

This role bridges:

• Field-based conservation

• Applied ecological research

• Community engagement

It is for someone who wants to build something dynamic, not simply maintain something static.
