Environment, Conservation and Human Rights Leadership Internship
This internship is specifically and exclusively designed for BAME individuals in the UK, with the intention of giving future leaders a step up and into the environment, conservation and human-rights professional community. We are doing this in recognition that within this sector - and particularly across conservation and environment - there is a significant underrepresentation of the BAME community in leadership positions.
This is neither acceptable nor wise, the sector's ability to leverage change is diminished by this absence and is tarnished by its failure to act on it. EJF is therefore initiating a pilot project to recruit and mentor a member of the BAME community, early in their career (within three years of graduating with a first or second degree) within this paid internship "Environment, Conservation and Human Rights Leadership".
Senior Policy Adviser
EJF is looking for an experienced, determined and motivated person based in Berlin who has a deep understanding of German policy and decision-making. A large focus of your work will be on enhancing Germany’s role in improving global oceans governance through increased transparency, however there will also be involvement in other EJF campaigns, such as climate and environmental justice. We are looking for someone with a passion for our work and the ability and talent to maintain and build EJF’s network of relevant German decision-makers across the legislative and executive branches to achieve positive change for the long-term health of our oceans and natural environment.
Coalition Researcher
The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), Oceana, The Pew Charitable Trusts, The Nature Conservancy and WWF have formed the EU IUU Coalition working together to ensure that the EU maintains and improves its policies to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
To support the delivery of these objectives, the coalition is seeking a full-time researcher who will be responsible for producing and supporting relevant research and other publications required for the coalition’s advocacy work. The individual we seek will have research and writing skills and will be capable of working with a dispersed and diverse multinational team. Good communications skills, initiative and drive are important.
