Careers in EcoSciences

"If you would like to be at the forefront of science-based approaches for understanding and addressing national and international environmental issues, our EcoSciences Practice provides an opportunity to work with bright and committed scientists with diverse backgrounds. Our practice is well recognized for its past work on evaluating and restoring damages to ecosystems, and we continue to develop and apply new ideas on how to approach the problems of the future. We offer a place to grow professionally and to enjoy the opportunity to work with other like-minded people."

-- Charles A. Menzie, Ph.D., Principal Scientist & Practice Director

Our EcoSciences Practice is comprised of nationally-recognized consultants in the fields of natural resource damage assessment, ecological risk assessment, environmental science, ecotoxicology, biological oceanography, terrestrial and aquatic ecology, fishery science, plant ecology, wetland science and restoration, and geospatial analyses. Most of our staff have advanced degrees in their respective fields and have worked nationally and internationally on environmental projects. Our staff members frequently lead workgroups that address new ecological approaches, and they are involved with scientific associations to stay knowledgeable of the latest regulatory and technological developments.
