The Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC) is a professional membership organization that supports more than 500 science centers, technology museums, and a range of other STEM-rich, place-based institutions and science engagement organizations. We are looking for a new team member to help build and nurture our Seeding Action network.

Summary

Seeding Action catalyzes and supports science centers, museums, and public engagement networks to cultivate a culture of hope and action for planetary health. We use the phrase “planetary health” as an umbrella term for the interrelated challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Seeding Action is a network of organizations committed to prioritizing planetary health through their content and programs, partnerships, and operational and institutional decisions. To support members’ work, the Seeding Action team leads the development and co-creation of planetary health content and public engagement programs, cultivates relationships among members and with experts and actors outside the network, provides training and other forms of capacity-building support, and conducts research to inform all our approaches.

The Senior Manager of Seeding Action will collaborate to build and engage the network of organizations who have joined Seeding Action and will manage targeted programs for Seeding Action members, such as a nascent program that leverages iNaturalist to cultivate a culture of action for planetary health.

Compensation Information

$75,000-90,000 annual base salary plus ASTC’s standard benefits package, including 403(b) matching up to 10% of salary, 85% employer-paid health insurance, paid vacation and health leave.
