**WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER**:
Science staff at The Nature Conservancy help ensure that the organization’s actions are evidence-based. The Colombia Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Specialist will work closely with staff within the Colombia Business Unit to conduct research and publish findings that advance the evidence base for existing and emerging conservation strategies in support of the Conservancy’s organizational goals. Research responsibilities include quantitative data analysis, sampling design, and leading peer-reviewed publications that present the findings from TNC’s monitoring and evaluation work. They will build capacity within TNC through doing these tasks in partnership with TNC staff. Publishing the results of our monitoring and evaluation work increases its credibility, makes the learning accessible to the broader conservation community outside of TNC, and provides important products that can be shared to highlight our work. They must work in variable weather conditions, at remote locations, in hazardous terrain and under physically demanding circumstances. This position reports to Colombia Science Coordinator and is located in Colombia.

**WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU**:

In fulfilling these functions, they will support the design of conservation projects and specific research and data collection activities designed to determine the impact and effectiveness of the conservation work of TNC and partners in Colombia. They also advise on and help with appropriate analysis of existing data already collected by TNC teams and partners. They support, and in some cases lead, the timely development of peer reviewed publications that report on these analyses. They support regional and global MEL related processes and build TNC staff capacity by doing these activities in close partnership with TNC staff in Colombia. They help connect TNC teams to external expertise (e.g. collaborators at universities) as necessary and beneficial.
