PROJECT DIRECTOR/FELLOW POSITION AVAILABLE

The Institute for Science & Interdisciplinary Studies (ISIS) is a 
non-profit organization uniting scientists, citizens and social studiers 
of science to improve how science operates in the world. ISIS's Military 
Waste Cleanup Project works with citizens, citizen-scientists, 
regulators and military officials to help communities affected by 
military pollution achieve effective environmental cleanups. The project 
is currently building the National Technical Experts Network (NTEN), a 
collaborative project connecting scientists and knowledgeable citizens 
working in affected communities. The Project Director/Fellow will build 
this network and direct activities for the project as a whole.

Responsibilities include developing and maintaining a national network 
of relationships with the citizens, citizen organizations, non-profit 
organizations, and professors/scientists at educational institutions who 
will join and execute the NTEN project.  Other responsibilities include 
organizing and coordinating public meetings and national-level 
workshops, ensuring continued project funding, executing grant 
administration tasks, and supervising project staff/interns.  

The ideal candidate is a dynamic individual with a Masters degree (or 
Doctorate) or equivalent experience in social studies of science or the 
sciences, excellent communication and computer skills, and experience 
working in the environmental field and/or in nonprofit organizations. 
Meeting and conference planning experience, and working understanding of 
chemistry, environmental science, hydrology and public health are 
desirable. Interest in the sciences is essential as is the desire to 
make a contribution to the intellectual climate of the institute.
