Subject: [nerdsfornature] Jobs at Bay Nature! Headed to Stamen!
To: nerdsfornature(a)googlegroups.com
Hello Nerds!
First, big news that some of you already know: On August 1 I'll be crossing
the Bay to SF to join fellow Nerd for Nature Beth Schechter at Stamen
Design<http://stamen.com>.
I'll be their project manager helping them more efficiently and happily do
their magic, rockstar stuff. I'm super excited about that!
And also sad to be leaving Bay Nature <http://baynature.org> after almost
10 years.
But, hey, that means Bay Nature has not one but two job openings (what can
I say, my shoes are big!):
- A nature-loving, experienced journalist to be the full-time Editorial
Director
- A nature- and tech-loving nerd to be the part-time Tech and Data
Manager
Check out the postings here: http://baynature.org/about-us/jobs. That
includes everything you need to know, including salary range (which BN
likes to publish because, hey, why not be transparent about it?).
Share the listings with your friends (the really competent ones), send them
to your favorite local nerds and journos. Bring on the applicants!
All best,
Dan

> The Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship Program is designed to engage early career individuals in the analytical processes that inform U.S. science and technology policy. Fellows obtain the essential skills and knowledge needed to work in science and technology policy at the federal, state, or local levels. Fellows spend 12 weeks at the National Academies in Washington, DC learning about science and technology policy and the role that scientists and engineers play in advising the nation. Each year, applicants from around the world become part of a National Academies committee, board, or unit. Each fellow is assigned to a senior staff member who acts as his or her mentor. The mentor provides guidance and ensures that the fellow’s time is focused on substantive projects and activities within the fellow’s assigned unit. An immersive experience, the program is designed to broaden fellows’ appreciation of employment opportunities outside academia and leave them with both a firm grasp of the important and dynamic role of science and technology in decision-making and a better understanding of the role that they can play in strengthening the science and technology enterprise for the betterment of mankind.

Hi,
I am working in a digital agency in Oakland downtown and my coworkers and I
