The Southwest Fire Science Consortium (SWFSC) is hiring a new project manager position at Northern Arizona University in the beautiful city of Flagstaff, AZ. We sit in a ponderosa pine forest at the base of the highest mountain in the state. The salary starts at $62,996 and is commensurate with qualifications. NAU has fantastic benefit packages. We are looking for someone who believes in connecting science and management, working with policy makers and the public, and with the energy to grow our program. The world of wildland fire has many challenges and we create opportunities to discuss and address those challenges. Our partnerships are strong and growing, and we hope to find someone to help us continue that. If you enjoy working with a diverse array of people from different disciplines, agencies, NGOs and tribes to tackle difficult issues related to wildland fire, we look forward to your application.
The Southwest Fire Science Consortium (SWFSC) is part of the Joint Fire Science Exchange Network is a national collaboration of 15 regional fire science exchanges that provides the most relevant, current wildland fire science information to federal, state, local, tribal, and private stakeholders within ecologically similar regions. The network brings fire managers, practitioners, and scientists together to address regional fire management needs and challenges. The SWFSC focuses on New Mexico, Arizona, and parts of Utah and Texas. The Southwest Fire Science Consortium (SWFSC) is known as an objective, neutral partner and gets emerging science on the ground by connecting scientists, land managers, and the public. By facilitating these connections, the SWFSC helps to assure that scientists are addressing the most pressing questions and managers are applying the most recent science in their efforts to protect communities and critical natural resources.
