Title: Community Partnerships for Self-Reliance and Sustainability Coordinator

Job Summary: The Scenarios Network for Alaska & Arctic Planning (SNAP) is seeking a highly skilled, thoughtful, and energetic program coordinator to help build and manage the Community Partnerships for Self-Reliance and Sustainability (CPSS). CPSS is a partnership of UAF, Alaska Native Science Commission (ANSC), and Alaskan indigenous communities to foster in-reach from communities to the university to develop collaborations that implement each community's vision for self-reliance and sustainability. The goal is to empower Alaskan communities to solve their own problems so they become less dependent on state and federal funding to thrive and survive. The successful applicant will manage CPSS- community partnerships and maintain the program website and database.

The successful applicant will oversee day-to-day CPSS operations and serve as the main point of contact for the program. The successful applicant will: respond to program inquiries; build and maintain relationships with communities; facilitate community in-reach (e.g., identify community priorities, help communities set the research agenda); connect communities with relevant UAF programs and researchers; assign and oversee community liaisons; and follow up on all community partnerships and projects.

This position will help design and implement dynamic website and knowledge-sharing hub that will facilitate communication among communities, UAF, and other partner organizations. This position will also support collaborators including SNAP (www.snap.uaf.edu), the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP, www.uaf.edu/acep/), and the Resilience and Adaptation Program (RAP, www.uaf.edu/rap/).

This will be a Full-Time Term Funded position.
SNAP is house within the International Arctic Research Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
