**Term: 3 years.**

The University of Waterloo is home to one of Canada’s largest concentrations of interdisciplinary climate change experts and a broad range of climate-focused degree programs and courses at undergraduate and graduate levels, including the first-in-Canada Masters of Climate Change program. Responding to growing demand both in and outside of UWaterloo, the Waterloo Climate Institute and the Faculty of Environment are collaborating on the development of new cross-Faculty training for graduate students and life-long learning programs for the public and private sectors. Both initiatives build on existing disciplinary strengths to train graduates and professionals to go beyond the context of their own academic-professional silos to engage broadly with the complexity of whole-of-society climate change solutions from community to global scales.

The incumbent is responsible for program and curriculum development, partnership development, program promotions, program management and administration, and program tracking, evaluation and reporting for Climate Institute life-long learning programs. The position is also responsible for supporting curriculum development, updates and approvals for the graduate diploma, and the management of an annual climate change lecture series. This unique position will contribute directly to shaping the evolution of Waterloo’s climate change educational programming.

- Design program metrics and a system to track performance, outcomes, and the impact of the program over time
- Undertake regular program reviews, including soliciting feedback from participants, instructors, and other cross-faculty and external stakeholders
- Provide recommendations for updates and changes to the programs based on feedback, trends, and learning outcomes assessment tools and techniques, and develop a feedback loop to facilitate the ongoing refinement of course offerings
