About The Position
The Narragansett Bay Estuary Program (NBEP) seeks a motivated team player to join the Narragansett Bay region's National Estuary Program as Staff Ecologist in NBEP's Providence, RI office. The ideal candidate will be passionate and knowledgeable about watershed, estuarine, and coastal ecosystem conservation and restoration in southern New England. The Staff Ecologist will step into a newly-created position, reporting to the Executive Director, and should be ready to support existing projects while thinking carefully and creatively about how this new role can support partners to help fill gaps in ecosystem monitoring and protection. This position is contingent on continued grant funding. NBEP expects to begin interviews in June. NBEP is one of 29 place-based National Estuary Programs first established in 1987 by an amendment to the federal Clean Water Act and overseen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. NBEP uses a voluntary, community-driven approach to enhance water quality, wildlife, and quality of life across our study area, which includes Narragansett Bay, Little Narragansett Bay, the Rhode Island Coastal Ponds, and their watersheds in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. A catalyst for scientific inquiry and collective action, NBEP offers consensus-building, scientific analysis and communications, and grant-making services to help restore and sustain the region's natural resources in the face of legacy challenges and accelerating change. Guided by a diverse 30+ member partnership, NBEP is hosted by the Community Partnerships Center at Roger Williams University, leveraging our shared interest in creating collaborative paths to a better future for ecosystems, economies, and communities.
