2. Associate, Marine Science
*SENIOR ASSOCIATE, LENFEST OCEAN PROGRAM AND MARINE SCIENCE *
*Pew Environment Group *
For the past two decades, the Environment group of The Pew Charitable Trusts
(PCT) has been a major force in driving conservation policy in the United
States, and increasingly internationally. The group?s work is focused on
reducing the scope and severity of three major global environmental
problems:
Dramatic changes to the Earth?s climate brought about by the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the planet?s atmosphere;
The erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain a great part of the world?s remaining biodiversity; and,
The destruction of the world?s marine environment, with a particular emphasis on global fisheries.
Position Overview
The senior associate will work with the directors of the Lenfest Ocean
Program and the Marine Science Program to provide information, analysis, and
other assistance in designing and implementing specific research projects
that meet the Programs? criteria. Work may also include charting new topics
or lines of inquiry for scientific activities potentially supported by the
Marine Science Program. Approximately two-thirds of the senior associate?s
time is anticipated to be devoted to the Lenfest Ocean Program. This
position reports to the director of the Lenfest Ocean Program, and is
located in Washington, DC.
The ?Marine Science Initiative? is designed as a multi-year project with a
renewal date of June 2010. We anticipate this project will be renewed
pending its success, board approval and additional funding.
Requirements
Graduate degree required and four to eight years of professional experience
in science, environmental issues, and/or public policy. Expertise in marine
issues strongly preferred.
Excellent written and oral communications skills, including an ease in
communicating complex concepts in a clear effective manner for a general
audience.
A detail- and results-oriented style with a focus on process and
achievement. Recognized ability to meet multiple deadlines by maintaining a
high level of organization.
Demonstrated strong analytical skills, including an ability to synthesize
large amounts of information and to focus quickly on the essence of an
issue. A strong commitment to producing measurable results.
Strong interpersonal skills, including the ability to develop and manage
productive relationships with consultants, partners, grantees and others who
contribute to the effectiveness of the Programs.
Experience with media and other communications strategies to deliver policy
recommendations and/or scientific findings to policy makers and the public.

Managing Biosafety and Biodiversity in a Global World: April 30, 2009
The University of California Washington Center Cordially invites you to:
"Managing Biosafety and Biodiversity in a Global World: EU, US, California and Comparative Perspectives”
April 30, 2009
University of California Washington Center
1608 Rhode Island Avenue, NW
Washington, DC
Please RVSP click: conference@ucdc.edu by Tuesday, April 28th , 2009
For more information, please visit: http://igov.berkeley.edu/
This workshop is the culmination of a two-year project examining the roles that California and the European Union play in defining the forefront of domestic and international environmental policy solutions. The goal of the project is to produce concrete, actionable policy recommendations to further regulatory cooperation between the EU, California and the US on transatlantic environmental issues, including climate change, chemicals policy, biosafety, water regulation, and biodiversity protection. As socioeconomic and environmental issues become increasingly integrated, innovative policy solutions are required to identify and address the complex nexus between society and environment. The project has developed a network of representatives from the US and the EU in academia, industry, the NGO-sector, and government.

The Value of Environmental Evaluation: June 8-9, 2009
The Value of Environmental Evaluation
Washington, D.C. June 8-9, 2009
Full agenda available online at http://www.nfwf.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Enviromental_Evaluators_Network&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=12390
What? - The purpose of the Environmental Evaluators Network (EEN) is to advance the field of environmental program and policy evaluation through more systematic and collective learning among evaluators and evaluation users. The 4th annual Environmental Evaluators Networking Forum in Washington, D.C. will provide participants with the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences about the use and significance of evaluation in their respective organizations and disciplines.
Theme of the 2009 Forum: The Value of Environmental Evaluation
In the context of the diversity of the environmental community, participants will discuss and document the value and roles of evaluation in achieving environmental goals. The severity of environmental challenges coupled with the growing demand for evidence of what works and what doesn't creates an opportunity to communicate the fundamental importance of evaluation to key audiences. The EEN will distribute outputs of the Forum to diverse audiences (e.g., government agencies, foundations, non-profits, and academic institutions) in an effort to advance the practice, theory and policy of environmental evaluation.
Sponsors: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency & National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
Who for? - Environmental evaluators and users of environmental evaluation, both domestic and international, in government agencies, foundations, consulting firms, non-profit organizations, academia, and international institutions who are well poised to contribute to the field of environmental evaluation.
Where? - The George Washington University, Washington, D.C.
When? - Monday and Tuesday, June 8-9, 2009
The conference is free, including breakfasts and lunches.

Organic Farming Discussion: May 5, 2009
Please join us for a discussion on "Organic Farming, Genetics and the Future of Food"
with Prof. Pamela Ronald
Professor of Plant Pathology and Chair, Plant Genomics Program
University of California, Davis
Date: Tuesday, May 5, 2009
Time: 1:00-3:00 pm
Venue: Partnership Conference Room,
