Great opportunities with TNC in Maryland/DC.  Exciting to see them considering a social scientist for their Director of Science position.  I know the hiring manager for these positions well, and I can assure you she’d be an excellent person to work with/for.

Colleagues,

 

The Nature Conservancy in Maryland/DC is currently hiring two new positions to be part of our conservation team: a Director of Science and Conservation Coordinator. These are both terrific opportunities to make significant contributions to conservation in the mid-Atlantic.  Please share with great candidates. I am the hiring manager for both positions and am happy to answer any questions.

The Director of Science is a senior-level position and provides leadership and strategic direction to ensure that the Maryland/DC Chapter’s conservation strategies have robust scientific foundations and are designed to achieve the greatest possible conservation outcomes. The Director is an experienced people manager who upholds the Conservancy’s scientific integrity and leads their team to facilitate, apply, and evaluate science in support of the Chapter’s conservation objectives. The Director will have knowledge of and experience with a broad range of conservation science topics central to achieving our priorities of clean water and climate resilience. S/he will be a scientific thought leader for the Chapter who identifies emerging topics opportunities and incorporates them into our conservation agenda. The Director will represent the Conservancy and clearly articulate scientific information to numerous and diverse audiences.
