- Analyze and write-up field collected data into reports and peer-reviewed publications.

- Organize and analyze previously collected wildlife photo datasets. This primarily includes a data set of wildlife use of forestry and mining roads around Red Lake, Ontario.
- Contribute to designing, organizing, and leading field work for a study of wildlife use of decommissioned roads in the Sydney caribou range of Ontario.
- Acquire and organize spatial data on roads and landcover in Ontario.
- Analyze the spatial and temporal variables associated with wildlife use of forest roads.
- Write reports and peer-reviewed publications that detail best-management practices for caribou habitats and populations.
- Manage the maintenance and care of field equipment.
- Collaborate with MNRF efforts focused on the effectiveness and efficiency of habitat restoration approaches in support of the Caribou Conservation Agreement.
- 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.
- Actively participate in fundraising proposals and reports for the Ontario Northern Boreal program in collaboration with the WCS Canada Development Team, including donor relations.
- Contribute to WCS Canadas’s external and internal communications in collaboration with the WCS Canada Communications Team, including sharing program specific media content, developing communication plans for upcoming publications, etc.
- Promote the conservation of the wildlife and wild lands in Canada within the conservation community, donors, governmental agencies and other non-governmental organizations through meetings, active involvement in professional societies, speaking engagements, media interviews, writing, and general communications as required.
