Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute Jobs and Careers

Description of Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute

The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) conducts world-class monitoring of the changing state of Alberta’s species, habitats, and ecosystems. The goal of the ABMI is to support natural resource decision-making by providing relevant, timely, and credible scientific knowledge on the state of provincial biodiversity.

More than 2000 species and habitats are tracked by the ABMI using remote sensing and field sampling protocols over a grid of 1656 sites distributed evenly throughout the province. The ABMI’s data and knowledge products are value neutral, arms-length, and publicly accessible.

ABMI will survey 330 sites across the province each year when we reach full scale of operation. As such we will require nearly 100 field technicians each season, as well as full time field coordinators.
