[ES_JOBS_NET] Environmental Research Program Manager in the Northwest Territories, Canada

[Haley alcock]

We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual for the
position of research program manager to support an environmental monitoring
and Indigenous field technician training initiative in the Northwest
Territories, Canada.

The research program aims to broadly study northern ecosystem function and
response to climate change and other disturbances. We carry out this
research at six sites across the territory where we have been making
long-term measurements of carbon, water and energy exchange between boreal
and tundra ecosystems and the atmosphere using the eddy covariance
technique.

The successful applicant will be based in Yellowknife, NT and work with a
research team of university investigators and their Indigenous, government
and industry collaborators, graduate students and postdocs. The program
manager will be involved in all aspects of the research program including
planning and management of field operations, maintaining existing
micrometeorological
research infrastructure, acquiring and testing new instrumentation, and
data collection, management and analysis.

In addition, the successful applicant will lead training workshops for
Indigenous community collaborators to gain the skills needed to establish
and maintain micrometeorological instrumentation for eddy covariance and
supporting measurements. The training workshops will be guided by strong
principles of reciprocity, multidirectional knowledge exchange with the
goal of knowledge co-creation and co-management around changes in northern
ecosystem health and
services. Through this innovative approach, the program manager is expected
to take important steps towards removing the traditional distinction
between knowledge users and producers.

Candidates should have a strong quantitative and technical background
obtained through an advanced degree (minimum Master’s) in engineering,
physics, physical geography, atmospheric science, ecology, biogeosciences,
environmental sciences, etc. or related field, have experience in
micrometeorological techniques, specifically eddy covariance, have previous
field research experience (preferably in the Canadian north), and have
proven teaching experience and excellent communication skills. This is a
full-time two-year position to start as soon as possible. Taking into
account the high costs of living in Yellowknife, salary (plus benefits)
will be commensurate with
experience and qualifications.

Please email questions regarding the program manager position and the
application package consisting of cover letter detailing interest,
availability, and relevant experience, curriculum vitae, and names and
contact information of at least two referees to:

elyn.humphreys *at* carleton.ca

The review of applications will commence immediately until the positions
are filled.
