Job Description:
Position Summary
The Director, Conservation Social Science role at Audubon’s national science team is focused on building a conservation social science (i.e. human dimensions of conservation) research program at Audubon. These
activities should contribute directly to advancing Audubon’s new strategic Flight Plan, including its habitat, climate, and community building milestones. This position reports to the Chief Scientist. Conservation social science services will support the broader
organization and the Director will assess those needs and allocate resources. Thus, the Director must maintain positive collaborative relationships with many partners, including senior national conservation leaders and field conservation leaders as well as
the equity, diversity, inclusion & belonging (EDIB) team. The Director may also engage with policy, marking & communications, technology, and community building staff.
A organization-wide conservation social science opportunities assessment completed in 2023 identified multiple areas in which conservation social science could advance Audubon’s mission, including directly advancing conservation actions, determining why conservation
actions are succeeding or failing, and surfacing inequities in conservation practices, among others. The Director will partner with the Chief Scientist to advance the integration of social science into Audubon’s conservation activities by deploying strategies
to address known barriers to adoption, for example by establishing a community of practice for social science to address barriers in capacity. The Director will also lead trainings and serve as an internal subject matter expert on social science best practices
as required, particularly in the deployment of structured surveys.
Compensation:
$100,000-$130,000 / year
