About the position
This Project Manager role will contribute to a team that is a collaboration between La Trobe's Climate Change Adaptation Lab within the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, based in Bundoora, Melbourne, and Centre for Freshwater Ecosystems within the School of Agriculture, Biomedicine and Environment, based in Albury-Wodonga.
The aim of the funded River Communities project is to support river and floodplain communities to identify, collate and apply river data and knowledge. The project involves identifying and engaging community members and landholders who have an interest in rivers and floodplains to explore their data and knowledge around river flows, floodplain inundation and ecological conditions. It will design a framework for capturing and managing community knowledge and data and developing citizen science monitoring options. The work will involve on-ground field visits in the mid-Murray region to conduct social research (e.g. interviews) and develop and trial community monitoring approaches. It will involve engaging with Traditional Owners and First Nations groups in the region.
This particular role will involve organising and leading the day-to-day delivery of the project combined with intellectual and practical contribution to its content. It will involve working closely with others and independently to help deliver the project. It is suited to someone with a background in applied social science, a familiarity with natural resource and environmental issues, and strong project management and research administration experience.
