Research Communication Officer

ABOUT US 

In a world where over seven billion people live, nearly one billion go hungry every night. Access to food, a fundamental human right, is frequently neglected. With challenges like climate change, water scarcity, and complex land management, the urgency for food security has never been greater. The Tay Juhana Foundation (TJF) is dedicated to tackling these issues. Our team of committed professionals is focused on advancing sustainable agricultural practices across the suboptimal lands that constitute two-thirds of Indonesia’s surface area. This suboptimal land, integral to local agricultural traditions, holds untapped potential for food production.

Suboptimal land, which includes areas with poor soil, limited water, or extreme weather, can be challenging for food production. However, sustainable agricultural practices offer a way to use these lands effectively for future food needs. Our communication efforts focus on raising awareness and inspiring action by showcasing how sustainability-driven approaches can turn suboptimal land into a key solution for global food challenges.

We are looking for a passionate Research Communication Officer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing the best strategies to communicate social science research to diverse audiences. You will also craft and deliver impactful messages that drive awareness, foster engagement, and inspire action toward global food security. Join us in building a future where nutritious and sustainable food is accessible to all.
