We seek to mobilize and strengthen climate mitigation and adaptation action at all levels, from individual citizens and rural communities, to the largest multinational corporations and the US Federal Government. Our efforts are bolstered by WWF’s reputation and deep field experience in the arenas of nature conservation and sustainable development; its global reach and engagement with governments and national and international policy processes; strong relationships and credibility with the private sector; thought leadership grounded in the best available science; and its unparalleled outreach capabilities through traditional and social media.

World Wildlife Fund (WWF), one of the world’s leading conservation organization, seeks a Global Food Lead Scientist, location flexible.
Never has the planet faced environmental threats of the scale and urgency that we see today. But we also find ourselves in a unique time of extraordinary opportunity for change. Following the establishment of the Sustainable Development Goals and the climate agreement reached in Paris, humanity has committed to accelerate a transition toward a more sustainable, ecologically sound and habitable future. The pace and scale of this transition will dictate success or failure. As the world’s largest conservation organization, WWF is determined to capitalize on this momentum. In that context, we are reinventing our practice of conservation, pursuing measurable results and thought partnerships that help shift humanity to a more sustainable footing.
The global food systems are essential to sustain the human population but they have big and varied impacts on the natural environment: 40% of land and 70% of freshwater is consumed for agriculture — the leading cause of deforestation and habitat conversion, the cause of 70% of human-linked biodiversity loss, the source of 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and the leading cause of fisheries collapse, the destruction of seascapes due to unsustainable fishing practices, and the creation of freshwater and ocean dead-zones through overuse of fertilizers and chemicals.
With the population set to rise from a current 7.5 billion to more than 9 billion by 2050, it is estimated that with business as usual, food production will need to double to cater to the rise in population as well as incomes that in turn change consumer preferences and diets. In this context, WWF is prioritizing the work with the food sector and developing strategies that focus on more sustainable production, landscape protection, reduction of food loss and waste, and sustainable consumer choices for healthy diets.
As the Global Food Lead Scientist (Lead Scientist), you'll use your expertise and professional network to provide thought leadership through forward-looking research, science direction for goal setting, scientific analysis in support of strategy development, and the management of internal and external science talent to support the Global Food Practice team in advancing an ambitious agenda. As part of the Global Science Team, you will bridge the technical and conservation practice worlds as you synthesize information from a wide range of food, agriculture, nutrition, and environment disciplines for their creative application to the global nature agenda. You will lead matrix teams of internal and external partners to break down complex problems into manageable steps to drive conservation outcomes. This is an unparalleled opportunity for a dynamic, strategic thinker who is passionate about WWF's mission and has demonstrated success in leading rigorous scientific research to support issues related to the impacts of production, distribution and consumption of food.
