Community Sciences Lab Manager

Apply Here:

Bard's Center for Environmental Sciences and Humanities (CESH) is seeking applicants for the position of Community Sciences Lab Manager. This position will maintain and cultivate ongoing student, faculty, and staff collaborations with communities across the Hudson Valley who are interested in environmental health, environmental justice, and the capacity to create resilience in the face of climate change using science as a tool to achieve these (visit our website for more information).

Successful applicants will first be clearly oriented to community-based organizing and community science work, and then demonstrate a clear curiosity for and interest in learning more about scientific approaches to air and water quality. Because this position requires the management and maintenance of a field-heavy research/teaching laboratory and a broad network of air quality and water quality monitors, previous experience in field work and lab work greatly preferred (but not required).

Our work is unique in that we privilege community-based scientific questions and needs above individual faculty research, which requires a unique scientific and community-oriented approach to this position. While we maintain high scientific standards in the field and in our lab, we are also dedicated to communicating with our collaborators and community leaders in terms that are accessible. This requires skills in translation and presentation (web content, social media content, talks, posters) that are designed to invite non-science folks into the questions. Demonstrated aptitude and/or previous experience in this sort of cross-disciplinary and/or cross-expertise communication is greatly encouraged as part of application.
