How to Apply for Community & Research Coordinator

at Faunalytics

🏢 About Faunalytics

Faunalytics is unique as a research-driven organization specifically focused on animal protection, providing evidence-based resources that help advocates make more effective decisions. Unlike many advocacy groups, they bridge the gap between academic research and practical application, making them a crucial knowledge hub for the animal welfare movement. Someone would want to work here to contribute directly to evidence-based animal advocacy while working with a team dedicated to rigorous, impactful research.

About This Role

This Community & Research Coordinator role involves translating complex research findings into accessible formats like factsheets, toolkits, and blog posts for animal advocates. You'll build relationships with advocates to increase research utilization while ensuring Faunalytics' materials are clear, consistent, and impactful. This role is crucial because it directly connects research to real-world advocacy, maximizing the organization's influence on animal protection efforts.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing a new research report on advocacy effectiveness, editing it for clarity and consistency, then creating an infographic summary for social media distribution. You'd likely spend time connecting with animal advocacy groups to understand their research needs while planning content for the Tactics in Practice series based on community feedback.
