Seeking Expressions of Interest for Knowledge brokers in carbon farming and ERF, bushfire recovery, landscape resilience

NRM Regions Australia is the representative group of the National NRM Chairs’ Forum – where Chairs from Australia's regional NRM bodies convene to build networks, share information and receive briefings on strategic direction for NRM policies and programs. NRM Regions Australia is also responsible for progressing business between these annual meetings.

NRM Regions Australia communicates with Australian Government Ministers (alongside other organisations) on behalf of all regional NRM bodies to help ensure that NRM policy is coordinated strategically and effectively.

NRM Regions Australia is seeking Expressions of Interest for knowledge broker roles from people committed to natural resource management and making a difference for the environment and regional communities. These are national, part-time roles for people with initiative plus great relationship and communication skills. The goal of these roles is to facilitate knowledge transfer and application to improve decision-making in NRM (in on-ground practice, program design and policy development).

This will be achieved through working with topic based national NRM Communities of Practice; facilitating collaborative efforts of NRM practitioners, partners, researchers and knowledge holders (including Indigenous partners); and developing, tailoring and sharing knowledge through appropriate knowledge exchange and capacity building approaches.

The brokers will individually or collectively cover a range of topics particularly carbon farming, NRM and the Emissions Reduction Fund; bushfire recovery; and landscape resilience – with the potential for other fields.

The 12 month positions (with potential for extensions) can be multiple part-time or there is the possibility to knit positions together as full-time to cover the range of topics. Please note that the roles are approximately 0.5FTE (equivalent to a $40-60k salary)

Ideally the positions are to be based in Canberra at the ANU, though we are open to alternative proposals.
