Community Research Fellow
GGO is looking to Fellows to support a collaborative, community-engaged research project in partnership with researchers from Harvard University.
This summer project focuses on how cities are responding to extreme heat and changing weather conditions, and how GGO can better support communities as they navigate these challenges. Fellows will work closely with community members, GGO staff, and academic researchers to help collect information, document community experiences, and support research that is meant to be used in real life, not just written up.
What you’ll do
- Support community-based research activities
- Engage with community members and partners
- Assist with data collection, documentation, and basic evaluation work
- Help translate research findings into practical, community-focused insights
- Participate in public-facing and collaborative research efforts
Who this is for
- Students or early-career individuals interested in public health, education, urban environments, climate, heat and extreme weather, or community development
- People who are comfortable talking with others and working in community settings
- Reliable, thoughtful, curious individuals who want hands-on experience
- Prior research experience is helpful but not required—training will be provided
We are currently to fill positions in the cities of Phoenix, Arizona, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Houston, Texas.
