ORGANIZER
The Toronto Atmospheric Fund (TAF), an agency of the City of
Toronto, is seeking a Project Manager to organize a North American conference on the urban heat island. Toronto is warmer than surrounding rural areas due to the urban heat island effect. Dark surfaces and infrastructure present in the city amplify the heating capacity of incoming solar radiation. Over the long-term municipal policies and measures that encourage urban reforestation and more reflective roofs and streets can cool ambient temperatures, creating more healthful micro-climates for people, reducing the hot air that air conditioning pumps into the urban environment, and ameliorating heat induced smog levels. The conference will examine the methodologies used in research and development of urban heat adaptation strategies, both in the long and short term; identify barriers to the research and implementation of the strategies; and explore avenues and strategies for future research. The conference will allow scientists working in Canada and the United States working on this issue to provide up-to-date results of their research and network with each other. Municipal policy makers, project managers, and environmentalists will present case examples of model policies and program in action in North American cities. The manager help develop an agenda for the three-day conference,
recruit of speakers, facilitate the submission of research papers, help create information and promotional materials, and find and negotiate a venue for the conference. The successful candidate will have superb organizational abilities, experience organizing workshops and/or conferences, and preferably a background in environmental studies. Experience working in and facilitating scientific research a plus. This is a six-month contract with potential for extension to one year. The position is funded by a grant from the federal Climate Change Action Fund. The deadline for application is October 7, 2000. The salary range is from $40,000 to 60,000 per annum.
