Job Opening: Director of Nature-Centric Approaches
ASRA is seeking to expand its team with the appointment of a Director of Nature-Centric Approaches. Reporting to the Executive Director of ASRA, the Director of Nature-Centric Approaches will be responsible for initiating and managing a new effort on non-human sanctity, inherent value, and agency as it relates to systemic risk assessment and response.
ASRA is founded on a set of principles including non-human sanctity. Incorporating nature into risk analysis is not merely a matter of environmental stewardship or human self-preservation. Nature-centric approaches attribute intrinsic value to all living organisms and ecosystems, independent of their utility to humans. This perspective recognizes the interconnectedness of all life forms and the importance of preserving the integrity and health of other species and ecosystems for their own sake, and not just as a resource for humans. This approach involves evaluating the impacts of human activities on biodiversity, habitat connectivity, and ecological processes.
This role will enhance ASRA’s ambition to be a hub of knowledge on systemic risk assessment and response and provider of tools and frameworks ready to use at sub-national, national, regional, and global scales amongst public and private actors.
For full details on the role and how to apply, please refer to the application guidelines provided in here in the Scope of Work.
Applications are due by Friday, 20th September no later than 5:00 pm EDT.
