Wildfires are increasingly prevalent, and even overwintering, changing forest ecology and presenting health and livelihood risks to community members. Simultaneously, invasive species and tariffs threaten the viability of the forestry industry in BC. Taken together, these compounding challenges require new approaches to forest and wildfire management, health promotion, and economic development. We are looking for a motivated student to join our interdisciplinary team as a research assistant to support an exploratory study that will convene a series of dialogues across northern BC communities on the future of forests. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with three faculty leads across two universities to build relationships with relevant stakeholders and Indigenous rightsholders, and support the planning, logistics and implementation of several public dialogues on these and related topics.

Conducting an environmental scan of key players in northern BC鈥檚 forestry industry, with a particular focus on the Peace and Northern Rockies Region

Supporting the investigative team in outreach to relevant stakeholders and Indigenous rightsholders to incorporate local perspectives into the planning and delivery of public outreach events

APPLICATION DETAILS

• Status: Part-time (10 hours/week) 4 month contract with the opportunity for a renewal to a total of 12 months.
