About: Conservation Science Partners (CSP) is a dynamic 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2012 to meet
the analytical and research needs of diverse stakeholders in achieving conservation and protection of the
natural world. Our mission is to apply human ingenuity to the preservation of species, populations, and
ecosystems using scientific principles, innovative approaches, and lasting partnerships with conservation
practitioners. We connect the best minds in conservation science to solve problems in a way that is
comprehensive, flexible, and service-oriented. CSP works in the complex and fast-paced nonprofit realm
using tools that include data science and advanced analytics; risk analysis and climate change
vulnerability analyses; species and habitat modeling; and wildlife and ecological connectivity analysis to
identify solutions through land and water use, designating protected areas, and advancing social and
environmental justice. We are a recognized leader in the development of data, models, and maps to
convey the status of and change to natural systems and human impacts on the environment. Core clients
and partners include federal agencies, foundations, environmentally progressive businesses, and other
non-governmental organizations. Outcomes of projects are designed to explain ecological phenomena
and lead to tools, map products, and strategies often tailored to the needs of decision makers. Our staff
members are located in five different states and work in small, distributed teams on < 50 projects
annually, of which about half may be active at a given time.
Organizational Values and Culture: Our core values include scientific and technical excellence and
integrity, which help to advance the function, direction, and initiatives of the organization. We support
and encourage creativity and innovation in practice and products; respectful co-production of
knowledge; and connection to the living world. We are actively seeking project opportunities that
directly involve Black, Indigenous, and communities of color and diverse international partners, address
disparate impacts of environmental change, and support social justice. We welcome the broader
complement of knowledge and skills that stem from applicants’ professional and life experiences. We
seek a candidate with deep curiosity directed toward diverse research interests, as well as aptitude and
enthusiasm to develop new skills and areas of expertise. CSP’s culture is one of highly skilled,
independent people working in dynamic collaboration on quality projects while imagining the future
shape, form, and landscape of conservation partnerships. Our staff includes artists, musicians, athletes,
collectors, mechanics, and people pursuing other passions beyond conservation.
