**Job Information**

Job Requisition ID: 58203
Ministry: Environment and Protected Areas
Location: Calgary
Full or Part-Time: Full Time
Hours of Work: 36.25 hours per week
Permanent/Temporary: Permanent
Scope: Open Competition
Classification: Scientific 4

**Salary**: $3,604.17 to $4,784.18 bi-weekly ($94,068 - $124,867/year)

We support Albertans in being proud stewards of air, land, water, and biodiversity by leading the work required for the desired environmental outcomes and sustainable development of natural resources.

**Role Responsibilities**:

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

This position will lead the development and delivery of long-term monitoring programs, as well as the implementation of focused studies in wetland ecosystems. This position will also lead the evaluation of OSM wetlands monitoring data as well as all required scientific and programmatic reporting. This position ensures that the OSM Program and its partners and stakeholders, including the Government of Alberta, receive scientifically credible and relevant information needed to responsibly manage wetlands in Alberta's oil sands region through protecting water quality, ensuring safe habitats for wildlife, fish and plants, and sustaining biodiversity, in the face of increasing pressure from industrial development, a growing population, climate change, and other pressures.

A key aspect of this role is to function in a team lead capacity providing scientific leadership and guidance to a small team of junior wetland scientists, to achieve the strategic goals of the OSM Program and Branch direction particularly OSM data evaluation and reporting. This position may also contribute to other relevant monitoring 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 Wetland 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 anthropogenic activities on wetlands in the oil sands region of Alberta.

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

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

- Leading the analysis of OSM wetland monitoring data, and reporting on findings for publication in OSM technical reports, peer-reviewed journals, and special assessment reports, specifically the ongoing integrated state of the environment reporting.
- Completing multi-year research and monitoring plans that are driven by scientific questions to assess the condition of wetlands ecosystems in the oil sands region of Alberta, including scientific evaluations of the anthropogenic impacts and ecological drivers e.g. climate change.
- 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.
- Working with multi-disciplinary monitoring teams from multiple governments, industry, and academic sources (air, water, biological, and ecological), to synthesize integrated reporting among OSM scientific teams.
