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.

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.
