Social Science Research Fellow

Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens (JZBG) is looking for a Social Science Research Fellow to support applied research and evaluation initiatives that advance our conservation, education, and audience engagement goals. Working alongside internal teams and an external social science consultant, the Fellow will contribute to the full research cycle — from tool design and data collection to analysis and final reporting. Findings directly shape program development, strategic planning, and behavior change initiatives.

This is a project-based fellowship with defined deliverables and timelines. We're looking for someone who brings independent expertise and exercises sound professional judgment in how they approach their work.

What you'll do:

• Design, implement, and evaluate social science research projects related to learning, conservation, and guest engagement
• Develop data collection tools including surveys...
