Manager for Urban Conservation

Vice President for Urban Conservation

Position Summary:

The Manager of Urban Conservation is the glue that holds the urban conservation program together. This position conducts scientific analyses and curates datasets and other assets; coordinates and ensures the timely, on-budget, and effective development of tools and applications; helps administer the program including marketing, legal, and financial matters; and assists with outreach and communications internally and externally. The manager will help facilitate and contribute directly toward the production of an inter-connected set of scientific studies, tools, and media, including books, peer-reviewed papers, websites, apps, services, public presentations, workshops, and exhibitions related to addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental justice in cities. These outreach communications will leverage the substantial georeferenced, historical ecology for New York City from the Mannahatta and Welikia Projects. Though focused on New York in the short-run, applications will be designed with transferability in mind to other culturally important urban centers on a global scale.
