We are seeking highly motivated candidates interested in advancing research that supports the restoration, management, and protection of coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, saltmarshes, seagrasses, and kelp. These ecosystems play a critical role in biodiversity conservation, climate mitigation (blue carbon), coastal protection, and supporting fisheries and communities. At CNPS, our research tackles pressing environmental challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration, working at the interface of science, policy, and practice.
