Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Conservation International Full time

The lack of usable data on blue carbon is preventing its adoption into policy, decision-making, and financing solutions. To advance this work, we are hiring a Blue Carbon Research Scientist to lead efforts to increase the quantity and quality of freely accessible blue carbon data in the Coastal Carbon Network (CCN).

About the Role

This full-time hybrid position is preferably based out of Singapore, but open to other CI country locations in Asia-Pacific. The position requires flexibility in working hours to accommodate time differences between Conservation International's and Smithsonian's headquarters and international field offices across multiple time zones.

Key Responsibilities
  • Data Management and Research: Collect data on ecosystem carbon stocks and sequestration, conduct meta-analyses of blue carbon dynamics across various geomorphologies, explore drivers of change in carbon stocks, and identify co-benefits within these ecosystems.
  • Capacity Building and Partnerships: Collaborate with regional blue carbon scientists, practitioners, and academic institutions to encourage the incorporation of existing blue carbon data into the CCN.
  • Capacity Building and Partnerships: Co-design and deliver training materials and workshops to equip users with the skills to input data into the CCN and effectively utilize the platform to derive insights from compiled datasets.
  • Platform Development and User Engagement: Address the diverse needs of partners to inform updates to the CCN dashboard, enhancing its accessibility, usability, and utility.
Qualifications
  • A PhD in a relevant field such as marine science, ecology, environmental science, conservation or a related discipline with research focused on carbon stock and dynamics in coastal blue carbon ecosystems.
  • Knowledge of drivers of change in blue carbon ecosystems.
  • 2 to 4 years of experience with data management and geospatial analysis.
  • Strong analytical and research skills to interpret data and effectively communicate findings in written and verbal formats.
