Natural Resources Defense Council
San Francisco, CA, USA
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is the nation's most effective environmental action organization. We use law, science and the support of 3.1 million members and online activists to protect the planet's wildlife and wild places and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things. NRDC was founded in 1970 and our staff helped write some of America's bedrock environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act, and many of the implementing regulations; our water enforcement cases played a major role shaping current water policy throughout the country. Today, our staff of more than 500 lawyers, scientists, economists, policy and communications experts, and others, work out of offices in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Bozeman, Montana, and Beijing.
Position Summary:
The planet is beset by two interrelated crises: climate change and ecosystem collapse. Experts have identified large-scale conservation and restoration of natural ecosystems as critical strategies to reduce CO2 emissions, deliver negative emissions and safeguard the world’s biodiversity. Accordingly, NRDC is prioritizing the conservation of wild, ecologically- and carbon-rich habitats, including calling on nations of the world to adopt an ambitious plan to help safeguard nature and life on Earth by protecting 30 percent of the world’s land and 30 percent of the world’s oceans by 2030 (“30 by 30”). NRDC is seeking a Climate Change and Ecosystem Ecology Science Fellow for a fulltime, two-year post-doctoral Fellowship. The Fellow will provide subject matter expertise and conduct multidisciplinary research and analysis on land-based carbon sequestration and ecosystem functioning within the context of climate change.
Specific topics and projects undertaken by the Fellow will include:
Reviewing and analyzing available scientific literature about Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Removal (ECDR) approaches, with specific emphasis on how these strategies relate to the “30 by 30” biodiversity goal;
Identifying gaps in existing data that need to be considered prior to deployment of these ECDR strategies
Assessing the range and robustness of existing estimates of forest climate mitigation potential in United States and the temperate rain forests of Chile, the risks to these sinks and developing criteria for identifying the greatest opportunities for increasing these sinks;
Assessing the range of existing estimates for ecosystem-wide carbon in Canada’s Boreal Forest, where is this carbon located, the drivers that could lead to its release, and the range of estimates for potential carbon loss from various drivers;
Establishing reliable estimates for potential soil carbon sequestration in agricultural soil sinks in the United States, identifying factors that account for the range in existing estimates and creating criteria for the identification of geographic areas of opportunity for accelerating the adoption of climate-mitigating practices;
Analyzing carbon removal potential for these ECDR pathways including volumes needed to meet climate goals, costs, benefits and drawbacks, and barriers and opportunities;
Organizing and hosting a workshop of internal and external experts to discuss and seek feedback on the results of the analysis;
Developing a policy and implementation roadmap for NRDC to help speed deployment of ECDR in the identified regions, including short- and medium-term opportunities, in close collaboration with NRDC legal, policy, and science staff;
Identifying and assessing political and societal barriers to deployment.
The Climate Change and Ecosystem Ecology Science Fellow is supported by NRDC’s Science Center and its Science Fellows program, which is a key element of the Science Center’s mission to enhance NRDC’s scientific capabilities and provide resources and support for policy and advocacy work. The Science Fellows program provides young scientists interested in working in the science, policy and advocacy arena with professional experience and on-the-job training; it is an excellent opportunity to refine existing skills and build new ones, develop professionally, publish work, and gain important competencies.
The Fellow will be based in our San Francisco, CA office (preferred) or our Washington, D.C. or New York, NY offices.
Responsibilities
The Fellow’s core responsibilities will include:
Reviewing and assessing existing, peer-reviewed literature and datasets related to:

The National Audubon Society
The National Audubon Society is one of the oldest, largest, and most influential conservation organizations in the United States. Since 1905, a passion for birds and nature has been the driving force behind Audubon’s legacy. The organization has played a critical role in some of the most significant victories for birds and the environment, including: the establishment of the first National Wildlife Refuges; the banning of DDT in 1972; landmark legislation like the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts and the establishment of the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Audubon advocates broadly for conservation through science, policy, education and on-the-ground conservation action.
Today’s Audubon is tackling the most pressing conservation challenges of our time.
Audubon is a powerful distributed network with an unparalleled reach that includes more than one million members, 463 chapters, 22 state and regional offices (or field offices?) and 34 nature centers. In addition, Audubon works with dozens of international partnerships throughout the Western Hemisphere that also support protection of migratory birds and the habitats they need to thrive today, and in the future.
The National Audubon Society is a $140M+, 800+ employee, 1.65M member organization. In 2010, David Yarnold was appointed by the Board of Trustees and assumed leadership as CEO, with a goal of creating the most effective conservation network in the U.S. David and his executive team are achieving this goal, tackling the most pressing conservation challenges of our time. When developing a case study for nonprofit excellence in the fall of 2017, Harvard Business School selected David Yarnold’s leadership of Audubon and remarked, “It was the most impressive turnaround of a legacy organization we’ve ever seen.”

We know that what is good for birds is good for entire ecosystems – including people.
To this end, we build and engage a diverse network of volunteers, communities, and conservation professionals. Together we address the greatest threats to birds, such as climate change, habitat loss, and invasive species. Our strategies are driven by cutting-edge science that informs where and how we work to protect birds and guides our policy objectives. The outcome of this approach is a reinforcing strategy that addresses the biggest threats faced by birds and people in our region. Together we are saving birds and improving the quality of life for the people of Washington.
