The Earth Systems Governance Asia and Pacific Working Group (formerly the Asia-Pacific Working Group) is looking for a coordinator to help energize the group and its activities.
Are you researching earth system governance (ESG)-related issues in the Asia and Pacific region, or are you from the region? The ESG Asia and Pacific Working Group is seeking a new coordinator to join the current co-conveners, Annisa Triyanti and Paul G. Harris, to help revive and strengthen the Working Group.
The new coordinator will work with the co-conveners. The main responsibilities of the coordinator can be discussed with them, but might include some or all of the following activities:
- Planning for the group’s direction, meetings and activities
- Actively recruiting new members and managing the group’s mailing list and member records
- Coordinating and contributing to co-authored publications by the group
- Supporting early-career researchers in the group
- Participating in the ESG Project’s annual meeting with other groups
- Liaising with the ESG International Project Office regarding website updates and the group’s annual report
- Representing the group in relevant occasions, such as working groups and taskforces meetings, conferences and other events
Please note that this is a voluntary, unpaid position, but one that provides excellent opportunities for networking, leadership and collaboration – and a strong addition to your CV.
Requirements
- Interest and/or experience in ESG-related research in the Asia and Pacific region
- Already be, or be willing to become, a Research Fellow of the ESG network
- Ability to commit time and effort to support the group, probably for a few hours each week on average (NB: the hours per week will be decided in collaboration with the co-conveners)
Early-career researchers are particularly encouraged to apply. It is an advantage if you are originally from the region and/or have strong knowledge of ESG in and/or about the region.
How to apply
If this sounds interesting, please send your CV and short motivation letter to ipo@earthsystemgovernance.org.
Application is open until the position is filled.
Review of submissions will begin 1 December 2025.
