Start date: Monday, March 30th, 2026

End date: Friday, January 29th, 2027

Location: The fellow's primary work location is on the Schoodic Institute campus in  Winter Harbor, Maine, on the Schoodic Peninsula. Field work will occur throughout Acadia National Park and surrounding locations within a 1-3 hour drive. At times, camping may be required to complete field work off of the Schoodic Peninsula. 

Residence is required and provided on the Schoodic Institute campus. Our standard arrangement is to place all staff in single-occupancy bedrooms within shared apartments. Our preference and intention are to maintain single occupancy. In extremely rare, unforeseen circumstances or emergencies, a temporary, short-term need for double-occupancy (in two-bed bedrooms) may be required

Note that the nearest city with full services, Ellsworth, is a 45-minute drive away. Although not required, personal transportation is highly recommended. The Schoodic Institute campus is beautiful and quaint, but it can also feel isolating at times. Applicants should be prepared to embrace the bustling summer as well as the quieter winter.

Please note that each applicant can apply for only one of the three fellowship opportunities: Science Research Fellowship, Environmental Science Education Fellowship, or Science Communication Fellowship.
