2 weeks ago

Edmonton, Canada NAIT Full time

**Please Note: This is a temporary position ending on or before March 31, 2030 with the possibility of extension.**

Applied Research at NAIT focuses on the economic sectors that are anchored in Alberta’s rich natural resources, with the aim of advancing clean technology and environmental sustainability. We use the term applied deliberately because our interest is working on industry and community partner-initiated projects that solve real-world challenges, and which have a clear line of sight to technology commercialization by industry or broad adoption.

NAIT houses one of the largest and most productive polytechnic and college applied research teams in Canada and we have an exciting opportunity for a new endowed Applied Research Chair that will use their industrial microbiology and environmental remediation experience to help partners in the energy sector with their research and development challenges. The Applied Research Chair will be a strategic leader in the NAIT Applied Sciences Research portfolio, which is home to a diverse array of teams led by talented Applied Research Chairs in Tailings Management; Energy; Materials Circularity; and Forest Reclamation, among others.

**Key Responsibilities**:

- Provide a strategic vision on how to grow this new research program
- Engage with industry to identify research needs and projects, staying current with regional business trends
- Secure and manage a mix of private and government funding to support research operations and capital projects
- Provide scientific direction to a large portfolio of projects
- Collaborate with other Applied Research Chairs in prioritizing resource allocations
- Mentor research staff as they develop project deliverables, milestones and budgets, and then as they execute on projects
- Lead the hiring, training and development of research and technical staff
- Ensure the continuation of a strong safety culture
- Communicate with internal and external stakeholders, including academic schools, communities, government and industry

**Skills & Abilities**:

- Industrial experience mandatory, specifically with the oil and gas industry
- Exceptional connectivity to industry in Western Canada
- Exceptional and demonstrable leadership skills
- Exceptional communication, both written and verbal, and ability to understand the needs of customers
- Experience in presenting technical content to varied audiences
- Experience in business case development, proposal development, and securing significant levels of project funding

**Qualifications**:

- Graduate degree (Master’s or PhD) in microbiology, environmental engineering, or similar from an accredited post-secondary institution or equivalent relevant work experience

Applicants with education credentials earned outside of Canada should have their credentials evaluated by World Education Services or the International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS).

**Remuneration**: $99,247.46 - $131,487.47 annually, plus a comprehensive benefits package.

**Please submit a resume and cover letter to be considered for this opportunity.**
