Research Director Position Open with Native Land Digital

Native Land Digital is hiring a Research Director.  This is a remote, part time position requiring 2-5 years of research and/or GIS and Mapping experience.

In efforts to more deeply and accurately tell the stories of Indigenous communities, decolonize colonial understanding of Indigenous people and territories, and to more accurately present information related to territorial, treaty and language boundaries, Native Land Digital is hiring a Research Director. This individual must have a strong understanding of social justice, connection to land and Indigenous ways of being and knowing. The ideal candidate is a strategic, inspiring knowledgeable leader with demonstrated professional, academic, or practical experience working with communities on GIS and mapping initiatives, especially in a setting of dealing with issues resulting from colonialism and neocolonialism.

The Research Director will have the ability to articulate, coordinate and implement a thoughtful, innovative, and responsive vision for the guiding principles of Native Land Digital. This position will require balancing Native Land’s need for high-quality research with the requirement that attention be paid across vast geographical areas and hundreds of Indigenous nations. 

The Research Director will work in coordination with a small research team of Native Land employees, grassroots knowledge keepers, and volunteer researchers, to coordinate geographic and cultural research over large areas of land, including Turtle Island (North America), South America and Oceania.
