The job thus requires writing, recruiting and editing freelance work, preparing for and traveling to represent EarthScope at national conferences, and generating new ideas for outreach.

While a master’s degree in Earth Sciences or in science education is desired, we are accepting applicants with qualifications and experience in the work described. Experience in writing and website maintenance is required. This person will serve as the ESNO Education & Outreach point of contact, and must be able to communicate effectively and work in a team.

The position will be based in Fairbanks, Alaska. This is a 4-year position with full benefits. Salary range is $50–$62K, commensurate with applicant’s experience. The position will remain open until filled, but we are eager to have our new staff member start as soon as possible.
