Position Description
The goal of Connecting Genetics to Climate is to promote awareness and two-way dialog regarding genetics and genetic technologies and their application to a broad range of issues, such as medicine and climate change. The Co-Director will work at the federal and state levels. The co-director will facilitate engagement in various environments, from one- on-on-one discussions and small seminars, to providing congressional briefings and leading workshops.
This Co-director will support the goal of Connecting Genetics to Climate across broader communities, with an emphasis on equity across all socioeconomic, educational, ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds.
The Co-director will be responsible for obtaining support via fundraising and team building efforts. The position will require organizing and conducting meetings and presentations, attending meetings and functions in the broader community, limited travel when necessary, training and mentoring new employees, students, interns, etc; and identifying and organizing fundraising opportunities. Whether these projects are conducted in-person or remotely is not as critical as their effectiveness.
The long-term goals of the project will be to promote a foundational knowledge of genetics and genetic technologies at level of the federal and state governments such that informed conversations about genetic information and genetic technologies can become common place among members of the nation’s leadership. In this way, the project aims to facilitate informed discussion and debate regarding the use of genetic information and genetic technologies for addressing medical, educational, economic, societal, and environmental challenges. Above all, the project aims to be informational and, thus, will not be engaging in lobbying.
