Role Responsibilities

The Watershed Science Team Lead position is accountable for safe and effective delivery of monitoring, evaluation, and reporting, with a specialization in lotic systems under the Oil Sands Monitoring (OSM) Program delivered by the Oil Sands Monitoring Branch. 


A key aspect of this position is to function in a team lead role to provide leadership and guidance to a smaller team to achieve the strategic goals of the OSM Program and Branch direction. Further, the position is responsible for leading and guiding the development, modernization, and long-term monitoring programs, as well as implementation of research studies in lotic systems and watershed sciences. This role ensures that the Oil Sands Monitoring Program and its partners and stakeholders, including the Government of Alberta, receive scientifically credible and relevant information needed to responsibly manage Alberta's watersheds and specifically lotic systems, in the face of increasing pressure from industrial development, a growing population, climate change, and other pressures. This position may also contribute to lotic programs under the Ministry of Environment and Protected Areas. 

Key outcomes of this position include: generating novel scientific ideas and approaches to be pursued by scientists within OSM, the Government of Alberta, and nationally; providing expert advice on scientific program and project design; leading large-scale, multi-year scientific programs that bridge scientific disciplines; and publishing scientific findings on the condition of the environment across media. It is expected that the Watershed Science Team Lead will be regularly invited to present at scientific meetings and conferences, publish peer-reviewed papers, and provide expert advice to OSM leadership on the cumulative impacts of human activity on water quality and quantity. 

This position is for a recognized scientific expert in watershed science and research at national and international level.

Responsibilities include but not limited to: 

Leading the review, development and continuous improvement of long-term lotic water quality and quantity monitoring programs as well as lotic research that address major issues of concern to the OSM Program and the Government of Alberta.  Completing multi-year research and monitoring plans that are driven by scientific questions to assess the condition of Alberta's lotic systems. Plans also include scientific evaluations of the impacts of human activities and ecological drivers such as climate change. Ensuring long-term lotic monitoring and research programs are delivered in a safe and effective manner. The end result is safe and timely completion of deliverables within the available budget. Developing, leading and actively participating in the analyses and completion of scientifically credible environmental data evaluation and reporting that meet project plan commitments and legislated reporting requirements. The end results are OSM technical reports, synthesis reports, contributions to the State of the Environment reports and peer-reviewed papers in international journals.
