Through the continued generous support of Catherine and James Gero, the National Park Service, Schoodic Institute, and the National Park Foundation, we are seeking applications for a 10-month Science Communication Fellowship. The Science Communication Fellow will join a cohort with Science Research and Environmental Science Education fellows; each working independently on discipline-specific initiatives and collaboratively on interdisciplinary work. 

The Science Communication Fellow will create compelling stories of science in Acadia for a range of audiences via written and audio formats, including episodes of the Sea to Trees podcast. Specific story topics will be developed in coordination with communications staff and the fellow’s interests and abilities. The Communication Fellow will work closely in the field and classroom with the Science and Education Fellows, contributing to research and education and helping these fellows tell their stories of science in Acadia to diverse audiences.

Start date: Monday, March 31st, 2025

End date: Friday, January 30th, 2026

The fellow will be a temporary employee of Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park and earn an hourly salary ($20.25) and work 40 hours per week. Each fellowship will last for 43 weeks (~10 months). Daily and weekly work schedules may fluctuate. Work days can be up to 14 hours long. In some instances, such as intertidal work during low tide, work days may be split into morning and evening work. At times work will begin at dawn and go through dusk. Work hours will include some weekends. 

Residence is required and provided on the Schoodic Institute campus. Housing is in a private bedroom as part of a shared apartment.
