Open Position at Open Environmental Data Project!

[Megan Zimroth]

Dear colleagues and friends,

We're hiring and I'm hoping you can help us find great candidates! [TL;DR: For quick shares, here's a Tweet and LinkedIn post.]

The Open Environmental Data Project (OEDP) envisions a future where data is transparent and usable, supporting stronger participatory environmental governance. To accomplish this, OEDP is building systems for people to share and contribute scientific, environmental, and contextual information, 1) within their community, 2) between communities, and 3) as a format to increase curated and usable information between communities, researchers, and lawmakers and enablers. To learn more about our work, please visit openenvironmentaldata.org.

The Civic Science Fellow & Data Inclusion Specialist will work on our research, pilot, and network-building initiatives around open data and environmental data governance. They will build on opportunities identified by OEDP team members to conduct and synthesize research, design and test prototypes and tools, and organize workshops and other convenings to support data literacy, sharing, and usability in environmental governance spaces. Until March 2025, the Data Inclusion Specialist will participate in the Civic Science Fellows program. As a Fellow of the program, you’ll be part of a cohort positioned across different scientific associations, organizations, and institutions, providing you with a peer learning group focused on a variety of scientific and societal challenges.

Priority applications for the Civic Science Fellow & Data Inclusion Specialist are due September 8.

Thanks in advance for helping us get the word out!

Warmly,

The OEDP Team
