Board member

The Ben-Abraham Center for Environmental Health Sciences (BAEHS) is seeking an additional Board member to help guide the development of an emerging nonprofit scientific research organization focused on environmental health, toxicology, neuroscience, and public health.

BAEHS has established its foundational governance and research infrastructure and is now entering a phase of active institutional and scientific development.

We are particularly interested in individuals with experience or expertise in:

• Environmental health or public health

• Toxicology, neuroscience, biology, or related sciences

• Nonprofit governance or organizational leadership

• Fundraising, development, or grant writing

• Finance, accounting, or nonprofit financial management

• Communications, outreach, or community engagement

• Legal, regulatory, or research-compliance experience

Board Commitment

Board service requires an initial two-year commitment.

During the early stage of institutional development, Board participation will generally involve quarterly meetings, organizational discussions, consultation, and occasional work between meetings. Some Board service may involve providing professional or subject-matter consultation related to the member's expertise.

As BAEHS grows, the scope and amount of Board work is expected to increase over time, with members taking on additional responsibilities as the organization's programs, research activities, fundraising, collaborations, and institutional operations expand.

This is a volunteer Board position. Prior nonprofit Board experience is welcome but is not required if you bring relevant expertise, professional experience, or a strong commitment to BAEHS's mission.

We are looking for individuals who are thoughtful, dependable, collaborative, and interested in helping build a scientifically rigorous and sustainable organization.
