Position
Research Project: DIVERSE: Nationwide testing of a forest management approach based on functional diversity and connectivity to foster social acceptability and forest resilience to global change.
Context: Human impacts on Earth’s ecosystems have greatly intensified in the last decades. This is reflected in unexpected disturbance events, as well as new and increasing socio-economic demands, all of which are affecting the resilience of forest ecosystems worldwide and the provision of important ecosystem services. This Anthropocene era is forcing us to reconsider how we practice forestry and how we conserve forests and search for new approaches that are more flexible and better at dealing with the increasing uncertainty brought about by these accelerating and cumulative global changes. In this large-scale collaborative research project, we will test a new approach to managing both commercial and protected forests based on complex adaptive systems, using functional diversity, assisted migration, multi-species plantations and functional connectivity.
Position description: The successful candidate will be the Western Research Project Coordinator (RPC), based at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and work primarily with Drs. Charles Nock and Brad Pinno in the Department of Renewable Resources, as well as with other colleagues in the department involved in the project. This position will also work in collaboration with the project’s eastern research coordinator, Principle Investigator, Dr. Christian Messier (University of Quebec in Outaouais), and with research partners from industry, government and academia across Canada.
The RPC will oversee the management of the suite of DIVERSE research projects in collaboration with the principal investigators (PI; Nock supervising position, Pinno also PI of project) while acting as the primary liaison between the research team and all partners. The RPC will be responsible for: (1) ensuring that day-to-day activities are carried out in an effective and efficient manner, (2) providing a point of contact and communication between all project partners, (3) implementing primarily financial reporting requirements, (4) serving as the face of the laboratory associated with institutional financial services, departments, and external parties, (5) providing assistance with the field research program, including creation of Field Activity Plans, maintaining and tracking use of equipment, traveling to field sites, and assisting with sample and data collecting and processing.
