- Leading and assisting with on-the-ground freshwater fieldwork in partnership with First Nations, including but not limited to leading on-the-ground aquatic research activities such as maintaining an existing underwater acoustic telemetry array, capturing and taking samples from fish, benthic invertebrate sampling, taking water samples, and including ensuring data and samples are handled appropriately.
- Assisting in data analyses and manuscript writing.
- Opportunities may also arise for assisting with on-the-ground youth program activities, including but not limited to assisting with youth scientific learning during fieldwork, supervising youth in the field, and assisting with chaperoning and mentoring during youth programming events.
- Opportunities to support other ONB field programs may also arise.

**Principal Responsibilities**
- Support WCS Canada’s goal of transforming WCS Canada’s conservation practice through reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
- Contribute to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace that promotes engagement and belonging.
- Develop positive working relationships with program collaborators and partners.
- Engage respectfully and appropriately with Indigenous peoples and local communities to advance shared priorities for conservation.
- Lead or assist field crews and lead or assist with on-the-ground aquatic fieldwork with a diverse team, including Indigenous research partners, at remote field sites to successfully complete tasks related to fisheries and aquatic research.
- Supervise fieldwork and multiple field assistants.
- Coordinate travel, accommodation, and other logistics related to freshwater activities such as fieldwork, youth programming activities, workshops, and meetings.
- Manage field expenses and expense reporting.
- Purchase, organize, and maintain equipment.
