Although our 50 staff are volunteers, our non-profit has reached the level where we will need to hire employees to manage our core operations. We are growing fast. We need a volunteer (which may develop into a core paid position) to draft position descriptions, recruit volunteers/employees for projects mainly here in Maryland but also around the world.
Much of the support can be done at home with only occasional visits to our headquarters office in Deale,MD (just south of Annapolis, on the Bay). Positions needing to be filled range from IT experts to project managers, editors and writers, web administrators, proposal developers, and earth scientists (meteorologists, climatologists, oceanographers, foresters, etc.).
We prefer someone who has been an Human resources Manager who knows a bit about benefits, time and attendence sheets, and finding good volunteers and staff. Come with us to help all humanity.

Description
The International Environmental Data Rescue Organization, IEDRO, is a non-profit organization that assists the scientific and educational communities of mainly developing countries to locate, rescue and digitize all their environmental data currently at risk on perishable media and to make those digitized data freely and openly available to the world scientific and educational communities before those data are lost forever.
After the US Government ceased its support to rescue and digitize these critical historic weather records, IEDRO continued the scientifically critical work as a separate non-profit endeavor using private funds mainly from charitable foundations and individuals helping us gather data to give researchers a better understanding of climate change and global warming, to help prevent starvation, improve flood and mud slide forecasts, to forecast the spread of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and yellow fever.
Our activities include the discovery, rescue and digitization of foreign environmental data, mainly meteorological (weather) observations, now residing on paper, microfilm and microfiche and magnetic tapes.
We support scientific research and operations in meteorology, hydrology, climatology with additional support to the fields of agriculture, ornithology, oceanography, disease control, rural development, transportation, construction, disaster preparedness and especially climate change and global warming throughout the world.
