The Inuvialuit Regional Corporation is opening a call for a Marine Program Coordinator, based out of Inuvik, to identify, mitigate, and adapt to local and regional marine priorities linked to changing dynamics of the Arctic Ocean.

The Coordinator will also support programming related to community outreach and training/mentoring, and will engage with Inuvialuit Beneficiaries, researchers, and community partners to determine knowledge gaps in research, monitoring, and programming.

The ideal candidate will have the following combination of education, experience, and knowledge:

• Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology or equivalent with a minimum of 2 years related experience.
• A Master’s degree in physical, social, or environmental sciences or related fields is preferred.
• Experience facilitating community engagement and training sessions on complex issues and developing long and short-term plans and community programs.
