Recycling and Waste Reduction Fellow, Office of Sustainability (Medford, MA)

March 28, 2019 / / 22 Comments

Working for the Office of Sustainability in collaboration with Facilities Services – Campus Services, the Recycling & Waste Reduction Co-op student would be responsible for helping Tufts University meet its goal of reducing waste by 3% each year. This fellowship is designed to provide significant work experience to a recent graduate who does not already have a professional background in the field of waste management but is interested in exploring it as a potential career path. Generally, fellows are provided with unique leadership opportunities that are not typically available to someone starting out in an entry-level position. The Fellow would help manage student interns and respond to waste and recycling related requests from the campus community as well as manage other waste related projects. Although projects vary each year, in general during the fall semester the focus is on move-in, recycling education and outreach, and the spring semester focuses on planning for move out. 

This is a one year term-limited, full time hourly position and includes benefits.

Apply online on Handshake by April 30th.
