Our Team

MEET OUR TEAM

The Station is operated by a small team of staff and a volunteer Board of Directors.

Our Staff

Our year-round team consists of our Station Manager, who lives on-site, and our part-time Communications Manager. During the field season, we welcome additional seasonal staff: our Assistant Manager, Head Cook, and Assistant Cook.

Our operations are overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors, a group of professionals with a deep passion for the work that we do.

Employment opportunities

CURRENT OPENINGS:

We are not currently hiring.

Research Assistants are hired through project supervisors, not directly through the Station.

Board of Directors

The AWRS Board of Directors is comprised of volunteers who are leaders in education, natural sciences and finance, and who care deeply about the environment. They view science as integral to understanding and conserving the world around us, especially our home in Algonquin Provincial Park.
