About the Opportunity Job Summary Northeastern University’s Coastal Sustainability Institute (CSI) and The Nature Conservancy’s (TNC) Massachusetts and Global Science programs are partnering to offer a joint Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity in Coastal Sustainability. Northeastern University (NU) is a global leader in experiential education and research with expertise in marine and coastal ecology,
environmental forecasting and climate adaptation, fisheries and ecosystem-based management, ecological engineering and restoration, environmental sociology, and sustainability science. The Nature Conservancy is a world-leading conservation organization with marine priorities currently focused on sustainable fisheries, quantifying the economic benefits of coastal conservation, and the role of ecosystems in
protecting societies from coastal hazards and climate change. NU and TNC are active partners in coastal conservation and sustainability science research and practice. As part of this ongoing partnership, NU’s CSI and TNC are excited to announce the fourth round of this Coastal Sustainability Fellows Program for postdoctoral scientists. The CSI-TNC Coastal Sustainability Fellows Program will foster a
collaborative, intellectual environment that leverages the interdisciplinary expertise of both CSI and TNC to train postdoctoral scholars and address major challenges facing coastal communities and ecosystems. Qualifications The CSI- TNC Coastal Sustainability Fellows Program welcomes applicants from all fields of study focused on understanding and implementing solutions that promote coastal sustainability.
Applicants must have earned a doctoral degree in a relevant field of natural science, social science, or engineering. The 2026 Fellowship competition will prioritize applicants with research interests related to coastal restoration, marsh migration, and community adaptation to flood risk. While not exclusive, specific areas of research connected to these priorities could include: • Addressing ecological and social
barriers and enabling factors for coastal restoration, including salt marshes, oysters, and seagrasses • Understanding factors that influence land use decisions related to coastal flood risk, including floodplain protection, coastal relocation, restoration potential, and local socio-ecological dynamics • Identifying and facilitating marsh migration corridors Fellowship Details & Application Process Based on funding
