We offer
💟 You will work in a global team of volunteers based across Europe and North America.
💟 You will set your own Individual Development Plan of self-growth targets and skills you want to acquire.
💟 Work at your own pace and set milestones in accordance with the leadership.
We value diversity, our team members are spread across the 4 corners of the Globe: west to east from California to Thailand, and north to south from The Netherlands to Senegal. We work flexibly and remotely: you will have the chance to set your own timeline and to adjust to the working style that works best for you. We meet (virtually or in-person) once a month in a social setting to get to know each other and to share milestones.
Additionally to fulfilling our motivation to translate science into social impact we grow our expertise through mutual learning, expanding professional networks, attending training and developing transferable skills for our future careers.
This is a unpaid volunteering position.
