Consultant Position (Part-Time), Ibis Reproductive Health, Cambridge, MA

Posted November 8, 2021

Description:

Ibis Reproductive Health is a global nonprofit driving change through bold, rigorous research and principled partnerships that advance sexual and reproductive autonomy, choices, and health worldwide. We believe that research can catalyze change when the entire research process is viewed as an opportunity to shift power, is undertaken in partnership with the communities most affected, and includes a focus on how data can be most effectively used to make change. We focus on increasing access to quality abortion care, transforming access to abortion and contraception through technology and service innovations, and expanding comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and services. Ibis works with partners in more than 30 countries on six continents. Our staff is located in Cambridge, MA and Oakland CA, USA; and Johannesburg, South Africa. We are looking for a part-time (10-20 hours/week) Project Coordinator for a four to six-month assignment to help collect, analyze, and organize documents, stories, and other material that will be displayed as part of our 20th anniversary commemorations in 2022 and will become part of Ibis’s archive.
