Reappointment is at the discretion of the Dean.This position works with the Climate Impacts Research Consortium (CIRC), a Northwest partnership led by the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute (OCCRI) at Oregon State University (OSU).CIRC is one of 10 regional projects of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Regional Integrated Science and Assessments (RISA) program. Serving the Northwest states, CIRC is an interdisciplinary team of researchers from OSU, University of Idaho, University of Oregon, University of Washington, and Conservation Biology Institute and is hosted by OCCRI in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). CIRC’s funding was renewed in 2015 with a vision of transforming data into usable knowledge for climate adaptation, by co-production of knowledge with partners in the region.This position has primary responsibility for managing the project and for leading stakeholder engagement. Managing the project includes coordinating team meetings and internal communications, ensuring timely reporting to NOAA, tracking internal budget and subawards to partners, and other responsibilities. The position will also lead stakeholder engagement in three specific ways: (1) managing the relationship with a Stakeholder Advisory Council; (2) as part of a community engagement project (location and nature to be determined) in which the incumbent will develop and cultivate relationships with on-the-ground partners; and (3) in connection with the development of an online climate toolbox, coordinate interactions with beta testers and project partners. The position also supports informal mechanisms for gathering and synthesizing continuous input from stakeholders, partners, and researchers to help with the formative evaluation process and ensure that critical needs are identified.
