About the Organization:
Working Lands Conservation (WLC) is a small, research-based non-profit located in Logan, UT. Our goal is to improve land management by bringing science to collaborative partnerships, while also supporting communities and livelihoods. Through our work, we are creating resilient Western landscapes and a resilient future for communities that utilize and value these working landscapes.

We are a team of field ecologists and communicators. We draw on our extensive experience designing ecological studies, collecting data, and analyzing information to understand how land management contributes to landscape health and stakeholder stewardship objectives.
We are a partner-oriented organization. We realize that trust, learning, and change happen when science is shared in conversation and as stories. We thus spend as much time building relationships as we do collecting data. We strongly believe that partnerships of diverse stakeholders lead to innovative management ideas, and that producers are the foundational stewards of working landscapes. We work closely with producers, state agencies, federal agencies, non-profit organizations, and university researchers to fulfill our mission, share ideas, and inspire innovative management.
Position Summary:
We’re excited to welcome a Soil Scientist - Field Crew Lead to lead and conduct field work and support our Ecosystem Services Lab through soil health analysis. This is a Term-limited Position lasting from September 7, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The Soil Scientist will contribute to Working Land Conservation’s mission by executing field-based research and applied projects.
