Working for the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute 

The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI)  detects large changes in biodiversity in Alberta with the annually updated Biodiversity Intactness Index and Human Footprint Inventory. This research provides ongoing, relevant, scientifically credible information on Alberta's living resources to meet the information needs of government planners, industrial developers and local communities.

Working in the ABMI's Operations Centre, the Biodiversity Program Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the design and delivery of collaborative monitoring projects across a breadth of ecological topics, for example, wetlands and habitat mapping, species monitoring of multiple taxonomic groups and ecological data initiatives. This is a highly collaborative position, serving as the point of connection between multiple internal and external partners.

  • Develop and manage project work plans and ensure the successful completion of work plans on time and on budget through effective project management (tracking deliverables, clarifying project roles, prioritizing tasks).
  • Work independently, with ABMI senior leadership, ABMI staff and project collaborators to conduct necessary project work.
  • Support project initiation including proposal writing, logistical planning and field delivery (e.g., protocol development, site selection, training, data upload and checking).
  • Schedule, organize and facilitate project meetings, including tracking and following up with project team members on action items and maintain project documentation.
  • Facilitate direct and indirect understanding of ABMI knowledge among environmental resource managers, policy analysts and the public.
  • Develop and deliver project presentation materials and summaries to non-technical and technical audiences.
  • Communicate project outcomes in written and oral form, including peer-reviewed publications and support communication and reporting initiatives.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in natural science, ecology, geography, biological sciences or related discipline. 
  • MSc or PhD in ecology, environment or natural resource management is an asset.
  • 2+ years of recent experience in biodiversity, ecosystems, forestry or hydrology conducting field research in western Canada within the environmental monitoring, ecology or natural resource management fields.
  • Excellent organizational, writing, and interpersonal skills.
  • Working knowledge and experience in operational biodiversity monitoring, including hands-on experience with data collection and program coordination. 
  • Direct experience managing multi-partner, multi-year projects and collaborating with government agencies and biologists.
  • Experience in project or product management.
  • Interest in promoting sustainable resource management and environmental monitoring.
  • Self-motivated and ability to motivate others.
