I often get email and other notices of career opportunities for people interested in environmental sciences, marine sciences, sustainability and conservation and adjacent fields. Here are some of the sources I have:
- American Conservation Experience: Emerging professions in Conservation (ACE: EPIC)
This source has links to apply for jobs in several US government agencies: USFS, US BLM, USFWS, NPS, NRCS
- From the site:
- “ACE EPIC individual placements and fellowships provide recent graduates with focused, hands-on opportunities to work alongside and under the guidance of agency mentors as they apply their knowledge of resource management on their path to becoming the next generation of resource and land managers. The EPIC Program not only provides an invaluable step for those seeking a link between the academic and professional worlds but also allows members to explore, connect, and preserve America’s natural and cultural resources as they gain professional skills and cultivate their careers in the resource management field. EPIC operates in coalition with partners such as the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and other conservation focused groups. Positions available through EPIC and its partners are spread across a wide range of specialized conservation oriented vocations and typically last 2-12 months. “

2. Environmental Education opportunities:
The best place I know to get information on environmental education jobs is in regular newsletters from the North American Association for Environmental Education. To find jobs, you do not need to be a member, but can register with their professional network eepro. https://naaee.org/eepro/jobs
3. National Wildlife Federation
The NWF has internship and fellowship opportunities for undergraduate leaders. These can lead into later career opportunities.
Conservation Fellowship program https://www.nwf.org/about-us/careers
EcoLeaders Fellowship program, https://www.nwf.org/EcoLeaders
Internships https://recruiting.ultipro.com/NAT1047NWF/JobBoard/1ca8346a-33cc-401d-90d9-d7f752fdfd7d/?q=&o=postedDateDesc
There are other opportunities, but this will be all for now.
I’d also recommend looking into environmental jobs at the US Army Corps of Engineers. We have people working in ecology, fish biology, wildlife ecology, environmental engineering, and biology. Check out http://www.usajobs.gov and set up automatic notifications when positions in your field of interest are advertised.
