This Natural Resource Management Assistant is an Ameri Corps position that contributes directly to collecting and maintaining essential baseline data and syntheses on the status and trends of park natural resources. Information collected during the position includes contributing to long‑term time series of key park natural resources such as oceanography, glaciers, intertidal communities, marine birds, and marine mammals, as well as weather over time series that are greater than 30 years.

The position will make key contributions to data collection, data management, and data synthesis and will assist with monitoring natural resources in four coastal parks in Southeast Alaska:
Glacier Bay National Park (GLBA), Wrangell–St. Elias National Park (WRST), Sitka National Historical Park (SITK), and Klondike Gold‑Rush National Historical Park (KLGO). This single position has the potential to have a disproportionately large impact and provide essential natural resource monitoring assistance and expertise for high‑priority park resources in this extensive geographic scope.

As such, the position directly supports the National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998 (Sec. 204), “to establish baseline information and or provide information on long‑term trends in the condition of National Park System resources.”

This role will provide an integrated, interdisciplinary experience in natural resource monitoring and management, working with scientists and resource managers from the NPS Southeast Alaska Network (https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).) in coastal parks in Southeast Alaska. The assistant will assist resource managers, marine biologists, oceanographers, physical scientists, and data managers (https://) with long‑term natural resource monitoring in coastal park units including Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Wrangell‑St.

Elias National Park & Preserve, Sitka National Historical Park, and Klondike Gold‑Rush National Historical Park (https://). The position will include both field and office projects focused on long‑term monitoring and assessment of park resources such as oceanography, intertidal communities, hydrology and water quality, seabirds, marine mammals (harbor seals, sea otters), glaciers, and weather (https://). Data collected include long‑term time series data (>30 yrs) that are used to inform the health and status of park resources.
