NextGen Faith & Science Fellowship

BioLogos • Ferrysburg, MI

2d • Remote

About The Position

The BioLogos NextGen Faith & Science Fellowship invites Fellows to help youth and young adult audiences explore how Christian faith and science work together as they navigate the questions, challenges, and experiences shaping their lives. Fellows will join BioLogos as part-time employees and co-designers of youth and young adult programming and content. Working closely with BioLogos staff, they will contribute ideas and perspectives, create accessible resources, and help carry shared projects forward. No particular major or degree is required. Fellows will be expected to work an average of 10 hours per week, with employment anticipated to last approximately 12-months in duration. BioLogos believes this fellowship is important because conversations surrounding hot-button topics such as evolution and climate change can make Christian faith and science seem at odds. These narratives are sometimes framed as requiring a choice between trusting Scripture and accepting scientific evidence. BioLogos offers a different vision—one in which Christian faith and science work in harmony, enriching how we understand both the Bible and God’s creation. Due to local labor laws, BioLogos can only hire fellows who are residents of the four states where we are registered as an employer: Michigan, North Carolina, Minnesota, and Illinois.

Requirements

• Mission and faith alignment. Be able to affirm and uphold BioLogos’s Faith Commitments, support its approach to common faith-and-science questions, and practice gracious dialogue.
• Audience understanding and faith-and-science engagement. Have experience with or insight into youth and young adult audiences, have participated in faith-and-science conversations in a campus, church, workplace, online, or community setting, and have a general familiarity with BioLogos and our work.
• Communication and digital fluency. Be able to write and speak clearly, make complex ideas accessible to youth and young adults, and respond well to feedback. Be comfortable using common social media platforms and collaborative communication tools like Google Workspace, Zoom, and Slack.
• Organization, reliability, and collaboration. Be able to manage a small weekly workload, multi-task and meet commitments, communicate proactively and contribute ideas, listen well, and collaborate effectively with others. The ability to work in a remote setting and manage other responsibilities alongside NextGen Fellowship work is essential.
• Location and travel. Reside and work primarily in Michigan, North Carolina, Minnesota, or Illinois. Be able to work remotely and have access to reliable internet connection. When travel is required, be able to participate in overnight trips, including possible weekend travel, with reasonable accommodation where applicable. A valid driver’s license is required.
