IMPORTANT: This Advertiser has requested that applicants MUST be National Residents / Valid Work Permit-holders. Other applicants need not apply.
The Ministry of Environment, Fish and Wildlife Branch, is seeking a highly motivated individual to work in the Science and Assessment Unit as a Terrestrial Ecologist. Located in Regina, you will lead the development and implementation of guidelines, policies, programs and legislation to conserve and manage Saskatchewan's biodiversity by relying on the relationship between spatial patterns and ecological processes on multiple landscape and organizational scales using landscape modeling and planning.
The primary responsibilities of the position include designing and leading scientifically-based research and analysis of biodiversity conservation and management by using multi-spatial scale landscape modeling. The incumbent will also design and deliver conservation planning for Saskatchewan by providing restoration, enhanced stewardship and connectivity of ecosystems, habitats and landscapes to build resilience to climate change and biodiversity adaptation.
This position is expected to develop collaborative multi-disciplinary partnerships with a wide range of clients and partners to protect, plan and manage an enhanced approach to biodiversity conservation in Saskatchewan, and represent the Ministry of Environment on technical committees and advisory groups at the local, provincial and national level.
The successful candidate will have knowledge of ecological principles, research methodologies, data analysis and landscape spatial modeling applications, integrated biodiversity monitoring and conservation programs including program management as well as knowledge of geospatial analysis and geomatic tools (i.e. GIS, GPS, remote sensing and telemetry).
Typically, the knowledge required for this position would be obtained through a Doctorate in Ecology or a Master's Degree and 3 years of directly related, high-level experience in biodiversity conservation issues.
