About Us
The Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NBNERR) is located on Prudence Island in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island and is one of 30 Reserves in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS). This is a network of protected areas established for long-term research, education, and stewardship. This partnership program between NOAA and the coastal states protects more than one million acres of estuarine land and water, which provides essential habitat for wildlife, offers educational opportunities for students, teachers, and the public, and serves as living laboratories for scientists. Prudence Island is only accessible via passenger ferry and has no commercial development; there are approximately 120 year-round residents although the summer population swells to over 1,500.
Primary Job Responsibility
NBNERR is recruiting to fill two full-time seasonal educator positions. This is an excellent opportunity for an individual looking for hands-on experience in environmental education, including lesson plan development. In particular, candidates with a clear idea of the skill sets they wish to enhance can benefit tremendously from this experience as the off-season provides the opportunity to pursue those skills (i.e. curriculum development, video and social media development, citizen science engagement, etc.). The ideal candidate will possess a personal interest in estuaries and the marine environment, and a commitment to the mission of the organization. This position will require working closely with the Education Coordinator in all components of the education program, primarily developing and leading a suite of classes (strong focus on marine science) for a variety of audiences. These positions will be filled through the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management.
