**About the Program**:
WRI’s Food, Land, and Water (FLW) program focuses on realizing a sustainable future for the world’s food systems, freshwater, forests, and other natural ecosystems in an integrated fashion. Land & Carbon Lab (LCL) is WRI’s premier hub for geospatial data, analysis, and monitoring of the world’s land and its natural ecosystems. Our data and monitoring solutions, which include the Global Forest Watch platform, exist to help accelerate implementation and financing of nature-based solutions worldwide. LCL has three main offers: (1) innovation in open geospatial data for land and carbon monitoring, (2) spatial intelligence to support NBS policy and target tracking, and (3) tailored tools that help businesses, governments, civil society organizations, and local communities make data-driven decisions. The Data Lab exists to inspire and fuel data innovation, product development, and technical infrastructure for World Resources Institute (WRI) and our community. We help our partners use advances in data and technology to improve lives, protect nature, and ensure just transitions. The Data Lab is composed of WRI’s core Engineering, Product, and Data teams. The Data Lab supports a wider network of quantitative researchers, data scientists, and product managers embedded across the organization. This position will be based in the Data Lab’s Data Team, but will primarily serve FLW’s Supply Chains team, which coordinates efforts across WRI’s various teams and international offices to advance responsible supply chains. This team seeks to enable responsible production, trade, and sourcing of commodities to protect human rights, forests and other ecosystems, and reduce GHG emissions from land-use change.
