ECODIVE

Advisory Board Member

The NSF-funded ECODIVE project (Evaluating COnferences for DIVerse Engagement) seeks 1 individual to join our project Advisory Board until approximately June 2025. ECODIVE is learning how conference modes (in-person/virtual/hybrid) relate to the diversity of organizations represented at environmental science conferences. The project ultimately seeks to recommend best practices in conference delivery to the environmental science community and beyond. Professional society partners include the Ecological Society of America, the Society for Freshwater Science, The Wildlife Society, and the American Fisheries Society.

To complement current expertise on our Advisory Board, we seek an additional Advisory Board Member with expertise in engaging scientists at Tribal colleges and nations, since these are organizations that are typically underrepresented at environmental science conferences. The Advisory Board’s role is to help ensure that the project adequately evaluates factors affecting conference participation for people from underrepresented organizations. Board Members will advise on decisions such as data collection instrument designs, interpretations of results, and outlets for disseminating findings. Advisory Board members will join the project’s Steering Committee meetings virtually every quarter and provide feedback on specific questions between meetings. Average commitment is expected to be around 2 hours per month. Advisory Board members will be offered a $1,200/year honorarium for their participation.

To apply: Interested individuals should send their CV and a 1-2 paragraph statement of interest to the project evaluator, Dr. Bethany Laursen, at [email protected].
