Insect Pollinator Lab Technician (Canada Summer Jobs program)
Wild pollinators are a major group responsible for the pollination of native plants and crops. Human intervention in the land has the potential to negatively or positively affect natural habitats and the wild organisms associated with them. CWF is currently studying the effect of roadside maintenance and Monarch butterfly habitat restoration/maintenance on wild pollinators in collaboration with rights-of-way partners.
The Insect Pollinator Lab Technician will assist with insect specimen sorting and curation. The goals of the project are to identify abundance and diversity of insect pollinators, and will include sorting, pinning, labelling, and databasing insect specimens.
Location: Hybrid

Grassland Insect Lab Technician (Canada Summer Jobs program, 3-4 vacancies)
This is a multi-partner project to investigate the impacts of grazing practices on biodiversity in the native grasslands of southern Saskatchewan, including vegetation, grassland birds and insects. Canadian Wildlife Federation is responsible for the insect sampling component of this project. Four major groups of insects will be sampled in rangelands by a field team over a two-month period. CWF is hiring 3 Grassland Insect Lab Technicians to support this project.
Reporting to the Entomologist, Terrestrial Wildlife, the Grassland Insect Lab Technician will assist with insect specimen sorting, curation and recording. The goals of the project are to evaluate the abundance and diversity of Auchenorrhycha (leafhoppers and planthoppers), bees and flower flies as indicators of habitat quality, and grasshoppers and larvae of butterflies/moths as a main food source of birds, by taking advantage of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), and will include specimen pinning, labeling, databasing, recording, sorting, and analyzing the data.
