In the midst of a deadly pandemic and public health crisis, this blog will not be the first to mention the still looming environmental and climate challenges to the world’s population. Indeed, a look at a range of jobs this week confirms that environmental career opportunities for PhDs and post-docs are as abundant as ever, across a range of disciplines. The world needs your expertise.
This week’s job upload includes public and private sector positions ranging from wildlife and rainforest protection to multilateral agencies representations, US government research, scientific research start-ups and corporate Environmental, Governance and Social (ESG) initiatives. There are also a range of positions that specifically use data science to tackle environmental challenges, but those will be included in our next posting.
