Each year, NEON hires hundreds of temporary field technicians (TFTs) to assist with observational sampling. NEON field sites are located in 24 states across the U.S. plus Puerto Rico in some of the nation’s most pristine and wild areas. These seasonal opportunities are perfect for scientists who want to explore fieldwork and gain experience collecting data for a continental-scale ecology program.
These positions in MA start in spring (March to June) and end in autumn (November).
Domiain 01 is comprised of HARV (Harvard Forest and Quabbin Reservation in MA) and BART (Bartlett Experimental Forest in Bartlett, NH). The office for Domain 01 is located in Fitchburg, MA. NEON provides transportation from the office to the field sites, as well as lodging and per diem for stays in Bartlett.

Lab work
Field technicians conduct a variety of laboratory activities, which include:
Field technicians may also have the opportunity to help maintain field site instrumentation, which includes calibrating sensors, troubleshooting problems, site maintenance, and assisting with corrective maintenance of sensors. Ideal candidates would have some experience with using instruments in the laboratory or field, a mechanical mindset, and most importantly the willingness to learn.
Gain valuable experience
Temporary field technician positions are an excellent way to explore ecological science hands-on, gain access to network of other scientists, and make a difference. Here are just some of the benefits:
Make a difference and gather new knowledge
The days can be long and the work rigorous at times, including hiking in tough terrain, but the work is interesting, meaningful, and immersed in nature. Depending on your experience and interests, you may become a fauna, flora, or aquatic technician. Either way, you will learn basic field methods for collecting ecological data. Additionally, the data you collect will be used by researchers, policymakers, and educators to better understand how ecosystems function and change over time.
