Seeking an undergraduate research assistant to support a research initiative focused on the Collaboration Program in Natural Resources (CPNR; https://www.uwyo.edu/haub/ruckelshaus-institute/collaborative-solutions/cpnr.html). This long-running program of the Ruckelshaus Institute has empowered a broad cross-section of leaders in the environmental and natural resource management sectors in Wyoming (and beyond).

• Collaborate with CPNR faculty and partners to interpret interviews and institutional information
• Assist in the development of outreach and engagement materials based on research findings

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail in data management
• Professional communication skills, including the ability to schedule and conduct interviews with people in varied roles
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively
• Interest in communication, natural resource management, environmental policy, or related fields
• Experience with research and/or communication tasks (e.g., note-taking, summarizing interviews, organizing data, or creating outreach materials)
