The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting the Landscape/Spatial Science component of the PERCS project, with a focus on spatial analysis and mapping of landscape structure and perennial plantings in Canadian agricultural lands.
Key Responsibilities- Designing a novel approach to select experimental research landscapes for the analysis of carbon storage/sequestration and ecological co-benefits;
- Completing detailed spatial mapping and analysis of agricultural landscapes in BC and Canada;
- Conducting a comprehensive literature review of the factors that drive the ecological outcomes of perennial plantings;
- Adapting current ecosystem service decision-support tools to allow them to identify priority areas for perennial plantings;
- Coordinating and managing a large number of layered research studies on perennial plantings across the province of BC.
- PhD degree with expertise in a relevant discipline (landscape ecology, spatial ecology, agroecology, remote sensing, data science/data management);
- Experience working in and knowledge about sustainable agricultural systems/agroecology/agroforestry/ecosystem services/restoration;
- Experience accessing, assembling, linking, organizing, and analyzing large spatial datasets in Canada or other regions, and a track record of use of these data to conduct population-based or multi-site studies;
- Experience using diverse ecological and social datasets, and spatial approaches and metrics, to characterize and describe landscapes, including with respect to landscape structure and connectivity;
- Computer proficiency, including use of statistical software for spatial analyses, such as ArcGIS, QGIS, R, Google Earth Engine, Omniscape, and Python.
- Experience with manuscript writing and a track record of publishing in excellent journals;
- Experience in developing successful grant/funding applications;
- Ability to prepare reports and presentations for diverse audiences;
- Excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication skills in English;
- Experience working in an interdisciplinary group (e.g., across natural and social science).
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a multi-disciplinary team of ecologists, soil scientists, landscape ecologists, environmental economists, and social scientists working with non-profit and governmental partners to advance research to increase the ability of agricultural landscapes in Canada to sequester atmospheric carbon and provide multiple co-benefits.
The Research Associate will play a key role in the success of the project through their contributions to the project's core research activities, including study development & design, creating, compiling, and managing spatial data, statistical analyses and interpretation, synthesis of current scientific evidence, design of decision-support tools for project partners, presentation of findings in community and academic contexts, drafting and publication of scientific manuscripts, and grant writing.
The Research Associate will work both independently and in collaboration with a team comprised of faculty researchers, postdoctoral fellows, research staff, biostatisticians, students, and community partners. The Research Associate will also help to mentor and supervise trainees and undergraduate/graduate students, who are working on these (or related) projects and will have opportunities to present their research findings at relevant conferences as part of the project deliverables.
