The Community Health Interventions Lab (CHIL) at the University at Buffalo is looking to hire a Community Marketing and Outreach Coordinator to support our mission of creating equitable and just food systems. We are home of the Mobile Market Coalition (MMC), a national network of practitioners, researchers, funders, and policymakers advancing mobile produce markets as essential infrastructure for a responsive and resilient food system in which everyone has access to healthy food. We support organizations interested in starting or expanding mobile market programs by providing technical assistance, fostering collaboration, advancing research, and supporting advocacy initiatives.

This position will lead the promotion of the Mobile Market Coalition work, including technical assistance, networking, research, and advocacy opportunities and initiatives through various strategies, including dissemination of research findings, best practices, and case studies through creation of engaging content. This position would be responsible for developing well-designed and innovative technical assistant and training (TA&T) modalities that engage recipients equitably. This position would provide direct TA&T for organizations interested in starting or learning how to sustain, troubleshoot, and grow a mobile market program. To execute the delivery of TA&T, the coordinator will draw from existing knowledge, our current resources and research, and our network of mobile market experts and peers. In addition to providing support and education, this position will also manage the campus-based mobile market, UB Veggie Van.
