Request for Proposals: Project Lead (Sci-Fi, AI, and Futures for Nature - Phase 2)

Application closing date: Monday, 17th February 2025

The consultant will coordinate and lead Phase 2 of Unearthodox’s innovative experiment Sci-fi, AI and Futures for Nature, combining speculative fiction, AI, and diverse storytelling approaches to reimagine conservation futures. The project explores critical questions of inclusivity, ethics, and justice in AI-driven foresight, aiming to shape more equitable and inclusive futures for conservation.

The Project Lead will oversee the smooth running of the project, including developing and managing timelines, coordinating activities across the team, and working collaboratively with a Technical AI Specialist, who will be commissioned later in the process. The consultant will also lead research, stakeholder engagement, and external communication efforts to ensure the project aligns with Unearthodox’s values and objectives.

The ideal consultant will play a pivotal role in integrating underrepresented narratives, exploring global majority and Indigenous perspectives, and addressing ethical considerations such as data sovereignty and systemic inequities throughout the project’s implementation.

This role is ideal for a consultant with:

  • Strong project management experience in interdisciplinary or innovation-focused contexts.
  • Expertise in decolonising futures methodologies, ethical AI, and collaborative approaches.
  • A commitment to driving systemic change, inclusivity, and justice in innovation.

Location: This role can be based anywhere in the world (CET +/- 4 hours from Switzerland preferred).

Budget: We anticipate receiving fixed price proposals within the range of CHF 18,000 to CHF 22,000 (excluding VAT), but we welcome innovative approaches that justify different funding levels.
