Term: 1 year
The Project Coordinator (PC) will support the day-to-day coordination and operation of the University of Waterloo’s Global Water Futures (GWF), Global Water Futures Observatories (GWFO) Programs and the Ecohydrology Research Group. Under the direction of the Ecohydrology Principal Investigators (PI), the PC will also provide support with project management activities for projects that might not be exclusively funded by the GWF programs, but for which the Ecohydrology researchers are a PI or co-investigator. The PC will work on multiple projects that are at various stages of completion (i.e. for the full project life cycle or on specific aspects of the project as needed). As many of the projects feature team members, stakeholders and organizations from various disciplines across academia, industry, government and community members, the PC should be comfortable working with teams and individuals reflecting this level of diversity.
The GWF/GWFO research program aims to equip communities, government agencies and other users with useful, predictive and adaptive tools needed to address the water-related challenges faced by cold regions under rapidly changing environmental conditions. The program integrates water research at many field sites and across many disciplines from 18 Canadian Universities with partners in several Canadian and international government agencies, industry, international research institutions, and community partners and stakeholders. The Ecohydrology Research Group, funded by various grants, includes a diverse group of researchers focusing on water-related environmental issues of social significance.
This position is contingent on funding.
