The Job

The Labrador Climate Services Specialist will engage with rightsholders and stakeholders within Labrador to provide information and guidance with respect to climate change data, climate change adaptation tools, best practices, and training.

CLIMAtlantic will work with regional and local actors to ensure that this will become a strong network where collaboration is supported, data and tools are easily accessible, and services will be provided by local and regional partners as much as possible.

Recognizing the unique climate change risks, hazards, and challenges in Labrador, CLIMAtlantic Inc. is seeking a Labrador Climate Services Specialist to join its team and help decision-makers in Labrador understand and address climate change. The Specialist will report to CLIMAtlantic Inc., and be hosted by the Labrador Institute of Memorial University.
