2. Hire 4 part-time student Project Coordinators
The PARKS+ Collective project (cppcl.ca) is looking for up to four UBC undergraduate or graduate Project Coordinators (PAs) to work part-time to assist with an ongoing, pan-Canadian project related to parks, protected, and conserved areas research and management. These PARKS+ Project Coordinator(s) will join an innovative knowledge mobilization initiative housed in the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability (IRES) focused on building inclusive social capital to support the effective, equitable, and transformative management of parks and protected areas throughout the Canadian parks system. The PARKS+ Collective Project Coordinator will join a small team, led by Principal Investigator Don Carruthers Den Hoed (Research Associate at IRES), to design and deliver interdisciplinary online and face-to-face knowledge sharing programs with a broad range of knowledge holders, practitioners, and scholars across BC and Canada.
