The Nantucket Conservation Foundation (NCF) is a non-profit land trust that holds approximately 9000 acres in permanently protected land on Nantucket Island. Our Ecological Research, Stewardship and Restoration department seeks a Coastal Ecology Field Assistant to support the field work of the Coastal Ecology Program through the 2025 field season. This position will participate in a wide range of field work including but not limited to salt marsh health monitoring (surveying vegetation, hydrology, and soils), nearshore oyster reef monitoring, water quality sampling, RTK GPS elevation monitoring, and dune restoration monitoring. Additionally, the Field Assistant may be asked to participate in additional Department work related to vegetation community surveys, wildlife ecology work, and occasional public outreach and non-profit events.

The Coastal Ecology Field Assistant will support the goals and objectives of the Coastal Ecology Program of NCF’s Ecological Research, Restoration and Stewardship Department which hosts Ecology Programs focused on Wildlife, Botany, and Coastal areas with extensive collaboration and the potential to work with and learn from a diverse ecology team.
