Work with the local communities to identify and investigate local environmental issues of concern related to climate change

Community liaisons are sought to represent their community in efforts to identify and organize local education and outreach activities in their region (one position is available in each of Greenville, Princeville, Nag’s Head, and Hyde County). The liaisons will aid ECU faculty, staff, and students in connecting with local residents, organizations, schools, and leaders to highlight community concerns related to the environment and integrate these issues into educational and outreach programing developed by ECU. Community Liaisons should therefore be well established in their respective communities. Key responsibilities involve establishing connections, understanding local priorities, and coordinating activities (including tailored youth programming) to address community needs while fostering collaboration between scientists and residents. The ideal facilitator is deeply committed to their community, culturally aware, embraces people from all backgrounds, practices active listening, and recognizes the transformative potential of science in addressing local challenges.
