The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC) is hiring an ORISE communications fellow to expand the reach of its communications program!

The fellow will help develop communications products and conduct outreach for NW CASC’s science users; evaluate opportunities for strengthening communication of NW CASC-funded research to various audiences; and support internal communications. This appointment will provide the fellow with opportunities to learn best practices around communicating and connecting decision-relevant science with its intended users as well as coordinating and sharing information across entities.

We are seeking candidates with experience communicating science and working with resource practitioners from diverse entities. Candidates should also have familiarity with Northwest species and ecosystems as well as climate impacts in the region. The fellow will not only be engaging with the NW CASC team, but also with many scientists, resource practitioners, traditional knowledge holders and community members. Thus, the ideal candidate will have excellent people skills, including the ability to listen intently, lead conversations, and practice flexibility and patience.

This is a hybrid position and the location is negotiable within Idaho, Oregon and Washington. It can be negotiated as a full-time or part-time position. Candidates must have, or soon complete, a master’s degree.

Application review will begin on October 15, 2024. To learn more and apply, please visit see the posting on the ORISE website.
