Northeastern University’s Coastal Sustainability Institute and The Nature Conservancy–Massachusetts are opening the 4th round of the CSI-TNC Coastal Sustainability Fellows Program, a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship for researchers working on coastal sustainability broadly defined. The fellowship is based at CSI’s Marine Science Center in Nahant, Massachusetts, United States , and fellows are co-mentored by CSI and TNC scientists. The program is especially interested this round in projects related to coastal restoration (marshes, oysters, seagrass), marsh migration corridors , and community adaptation to flood risk and land-use decisions . Applicants from natural science, social science, and engineering backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The post highlights room to shape a project around restoration, migration corridors, or broader climate adaptation questions, including the real-world effectiveness of managed retreat programs. Funding includes salary, benefits, and dedicated travel/research funding . Initial review of applications will begin on September 21 . Relevant academic areas include Environmental Science, Biology, Earth Science, and Civil Engineering , with strong links to marine science, climate adaptation policy, and coastal resilience.
