World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world’s leading conservation organization, seeks an undergraduate research intern.
The WWF is a leading conservation organization; our half-century of conservation success is rooted firmly in science. Over the last decade we have worked in food systems to advance our mission of people living in harmony with nature, with the acknowledgement that one of the biggest threats to this mission has long been where and how we produce food. More specifically, through our years of research, we have identified production of protein, including livestock, seafood, and plant-based proteins as a critical nexus for sustainable food systems. As negative impacts from food production continue to grow due to expanding populations, increasing incomes, shifts in consumption patterns and climate change, our work is now more crucial than ever before.
This internship provides an opportunity for an undergraduate-level student to contribute to critical research around global food systems at the intersection of environmental and human health. The Protein Sustainability team is working with an international, interdisciplinary team of experts to fill pressing research gaps on the drivers of change in food systems, where food is consumed, technological advances, and policy analysis.

Papua, Indonesia contains some of the largest remaining tracts of forests in Southeast Asia. These forests are important for storing carbon, protecting biodiversity, and supporting local communities’ livelihoods. WWF has been at the forefront of promoting enabling conditions for community-based economies in Papua, including forestry. When local communities have the acquired appropriate legal frameworks and technical skills, they can manage their forests sustainably and derive livelihoods – while in other settings, community forests may result in tradeoffs between forest conservation and human well-being. To monitor the ability for community forests to provide protection to the environment while supporting community livelihoods and well-being, WWF and its partners are monitoring the social and ecological impacts of community forests. We are looking for a motivated intern to assist in the development of methods and instruments which will be used to strengthen our community forest monitoring program.

World Wildlife Fund (WWF), one of the world’s leading conservation organizations, seeks a Manager, Renewable Thermal Energy & Climate-Smart Land Use to join WWF’s fast moving and influential US corporate climate and renewable energy team. The Manager leads WWF’s strategic and technical work under the Renewable Thermal Collaborative. The RTC is a multi-stakeholder platform launched in September 2017 as a joint initiative of WWF, the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) and David Gardiner and Associates. The RTC is the leading coalition for organizations committed to scaling sustainable, renewable heating and cooling at their facilities and dramatically cutting carbon emissions. The manager is also the focal point for the Climate & Energy Team’s work to advance accounting standards and scale implementation for corporate scope 3 targets that impact land use, forests and food systems.
Many large buyers (corporations, cities, education institutions, etc.) with large thermal energy loads are increasingly looking to renewable thermal solutions, just as they have been seeking renewable electricity solutions. However, renewable thermal solutions are far less commercially developed for a variety of reasons, including the availability and sustainability of bioenergy feedstocks. The goal of the RTC is to develop and implement sustainable, cost-competitive solutions. Within the RTC, the Manager will lead WWF’s work to deepen the RTC coalition’s strategy to develop buyer-focused solutions, particularly around biomass and bioenergy. The manager will also collaborate with staff across the WWF organization to drive standards for land-use accounting and target setting and to implement scalable solutions for companies with value chains touching land use, forests and food systems.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an integral component of local, national, and international strategies for biodiversity conservation. The impact of MPAs on local communities is the focus of a contentious policy debate. Under certain conditions, MPAs can provide both biodiversity and social benefits, while in other settings tradeoffs exist between biodiversity conservation and social welfare. To inform this debate, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and its partners are monitoring the social impacts of marine protected areas in the Coral Triangle. We are looking for a motivated intern to assist in the analysis and interpretation of our coastal livelihoods data.
