Located 1000 miles south of Hawai'i ~ and an untold distance from civilization

The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working globally to protect ecologically important lands and waters for people and nature. Located 1,000 miles south of Hawai‘i and an untold distance from civilization, Palmyra Atoll is one of the most spectacular marine wilderness areas on Earth. Palmyra is a tiny 680-acre atoll with 480,000 acres of lagoons, coral reefs, and submerged lands. As the only refuge within 450,000 square miles of ocean, this tiny atoll has an ecological “footprint” that far exceeds its borders.

Long recognized as an ideal natural laboratory, Palmyra’s research station and camp facilities supports scientific research by major research organizations. To run the research station and camp facilities we are looking to hire staff on a rotational basis for up to 4-6 months at a time.

The successful candidate must posses, or be able to obtain, a valid Passport with an expiration date later than your term of employment, proof of current health insurance, proof of a physical examination showing good physical and a current tetanus vaccination. In addition, TNC requires staff to obtain a membership in an Emergency Evacuation Service. More information on these issues can be obtained and it is expected that the successful candidate cover the costs associated with these items.
