Subject: [CLN Members] National Center for Science Education seeks to hire climate education specialist

Help wanted: Climate Change Programs and Policy Director

NCSE seeks candidates for our Climate Change Programs and Policy Director.

The Climate Change Programs and Policy Director’s duties will include:

   * counseling teachers, administrators, parents, and other
concerned citizens facing challenges to climate change education;
   * providing information on climate change, climate literacy, and
related issues to the general public, the press, and allied
educational, scientific, and environmental organizations;
   * developing materials pertaining to climate change education for
print and web;
   * speaking to the press and general public
   * representing NCSE to the climate science, climate literacy, and
environmental education communities;
   * coordinating with policymakers, advocacy groups, educators, and
scientists regarding policies which could harm or benefit accurate
climate science education.

Candidates must have at least a college degree; advanced degrees in
climate science or climate science education are pluses. A record of
involvement in climate literacy efforts, and of addressing attacks on
the scientific consensus about climate change, is also a plus.
Excellent communication skills, both written and oral, are necessary,
as are a high degree of computer literacy (including the use of social
media) and the ability to work cooperatively. Travel and public
speaking will be required.

This is a full-time permanent position with medical, dental, and
retirement benefits in Oakland, California, to start as soon as
possible. Telecommuting is not an option. Salary will be commensurate
with skills and experience and comparable with similar positions in
similarly sized non-profits in the Bay Area.

Send c.v., brief writing sample, and the names of three references to
NCSE, either by mail to NCSE, 420 40th Street, Suite 2, Oakland CA
94609-2509, by fax to (510) 601-7204, or by e-mail to
[log in to unmask]. No calls, please. Materials must arrive by August
15, to be considered. Anticipated start date is mid-September. NCSE is
an equal opportunity employer.

Please pass this along to others who might be interested.  This is a
new position, and a new program for NCSE (our historic focus has been
on defending evolution), and whoever is hired will have significant
opportunities to shape the position and the program, building on
NCSE's long-standing and award-winning work defending science
teachers, students, and the integrity of science.
