ABOUT THE CENTER
The Center for Biological Diversity, a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, believes the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence of a vast diversity of wild animals, plants and people. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law, activism and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that humans, other species and all communities need to survive and thrive.
We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

POSITION SUMMARY
Science is woven into our advocacy work and informs our legal strategies, policy advocacy, campaigning and public education.

​The GIS specialist uses spatial analysis and cartography to promote endangered species conservation and conduct scientific and factual research to support our campaigns and litigation. The position will involve working with a team of attorneys, communications specialists and advocates to protect endangered species across the United States. Much of this work will involve capturing data from non-spatial sources, heads-up digitizing, and generating metadata with other GIS tasks as the position evolves.
