Terrestrial Ecology Lead
This job is no longer available
There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
About The Position
The Arctic Beringia Program has built a strong foundation of species, habitat, and issue-based projects across the three country components of our region - Canada, Russia, and the United States. Our work is closely tied with food security needs, and often co-produced with Indigenous partners. Current focal areas include marine mammals and shipping, carnivore conservation, avian conservation, healthy coastal fisheries, wood bison reintroductions, and habitat restoration. To increase our capacity on terrestrial conservation projects, we are looking for a terrestrial ecologist with a strong background working directly with Indigenous groups and local landowners and have experience in the science/management and/or science/policy interfaces. This person will work with the Regional Director and other WCS science staff to design and implement research efforts that support programmatic goals. While broad in scope, the position's immediate work will focus on a) synthesis and modeling of bison ecology in the northern boreal regions of Canada and Alaska, and b) synthesis of peer-reviewed and grey literature concerning regional carnivores. The position will network with partners, support proposal development, and work with our program's social scientists to share information with communities and other interested parties.
