Co-founded in 1998 by two PhD students, Jerry Keir and Sanjay Pyare, at the University of Nevada, the Institute began as a field studies program to mobilize University faculty, students, and volunteers in applied science and direct service to support national parks, forests, open spaces and public lands.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Position Description:

Great Basin Institute (GBI), founded at the University of Nevada, Reno, is a mission-driven non-profit organization headquartered in the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Institute advances ecological literacy, professional development, and environmental resource management through educational outreach and direct service programs.

GBI’s Basin and Range Forestry Program (BRF) and Forestry Stewardship Contracting (FSC) Programs seek a Director to provide mission-based leadership, maintain and develop partnerships, and oversee program staff and operations in support of numerous field personnel on annual and seasonal appointments across the western United States. Important roles of this position include overseeing dozens of active federal and non-federal agreements and contracts, communicating with agency partners, managing program and project budgets, and cooperatively informing and upholding GBI policies and procedures.

This position regularly directs the work of four or more staff members and is responsible for hiring, performance management, and mentorship in cooperation with the Executive Leadership Team.

This critical program lead position requires a visionary individual to oversee and support a large forestry and forest stewardship contracting program. The Director will manage current programs for high-quality delivery while exploring options to strengthen and develop new partnerships and service opportunities.

LOCATION

Based at GBI offices in Reno, NV, the “Biggest Little City in the World” has a population of over 435,000. The city is a high desert landscape ~4,500 feet above sea level, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains along the Truckee River, as it flows from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake. Weather is mild, but with distinct four seasons. Reno offers easy access to world-class outdoor recreation including driving distance to Yosemite and Death Valley National Parks, the Pacific Ocean, and California redwood forests. Closer to home, Nevada offers more natural hot springs than any other state in the country, over 150 named mountain ranges, and 30 peaks over 11,000 feet.

Recreation and entertainment include eight major ski resorts in proximity to the Reno-Tahoe airport; fishing and boating on Lake Tahoe, the Truckee River, and Pyramid Lake; cultural festivals throughout the summer along the banks of the Truckee River; a thriving food scene and more.
