Seasonal Opportunities
Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge hires several field researchers (island supervisors and technicians) to monitor seabird colonies on islands along the Maine coast each summer. While living on the islands, researchers conduct censuses of all nesting seabird species, monitor productivity, observe chick feedings, band chicks, read adult bands, and monitor predators and competitors. Experience with boat operation, bird identification, and seabird ecology is preferred but not required. Applicants must be willing to live, and work, with other researchers on remote islands, often under harsh weather conditions.

Volunteer Opportunities
Maine Coastal Islands's volunteer program offers you the opportunity to support wildlife and its habitat while learning new skills and doing something that you enjoy. Refuge volunteers help with administrative, public use, and biological projects. Unfortunately, the refuge cannot offer housing.
