Our friends over at Iowa Learning Farms (ILF)<\/a> and Water Rocks! (WR!)<\/a> have a position open right now that you may want to take a look at. They’re hiring a Communications and Outreach Specialist<\/a> for their programs – which sounds pretty standard, right? But there are so many reasons this job is unlike others in the same category.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ILF and WR! are high energy programs with a small team that works very closely together. The right person for this job will appreciate working along side others and sharing knowledge and skills to achieve program goals.<\/li>\n
  2. This communicator will not just spread information – they will have the opportunity to teach others (especially children) about natural resources. The Communications and Outreach Specialist won’t just be stuck in an office all day – they’ll get to mix it up by attending some of the many events ILF and WR! put on in schools, at fairs and other public places.<\/li>\n
  3. This position isn’t just limited to communications – they’ll get to get their hands dirty by doing some agricultural field work. Now that’s something most communications jobs don’t offer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you or someone you know is passionate about natural resources, appreciates and understands scientific concepts, is great at engaging others, and thrives in a team environment, this might just be a once in a lifetime opportunity.<\/p>\n

    Really important things to know:<\/p>\n

    -This job requires a bachelor’s degree and 1 year of experience
    \n-Applications are being accepted until 10\/25\/15
    \n-You can apply online through Iowa State’s employment website<\/p>\n

    The position description is available online<\/a>. We look forward to meeting our new colleague (wherever\/whoever they are!) and wish ILF and WR! a happy hiring experience!<\/p>\n

    Side note: Iowa Water Center Rick Cruse participated this week in the ILF podcast series Conservation Chat <\/a>– look for his interview coming soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
