Graduate Student Assistantship – Forest Management and Environmental Education

We seek outstanding students who wish to pursue a Master’s of Science or a PhD in Environmental Studies.  Our programs are based in the Department of Environmental Studies at the Antioch University New England campus in Keene, NH.  We offer a Graduate Student Assistantship in forest management that places the student at the intersection of scholarship and practice working with faculty and fellow graduate students to manage our forest properties.

Antioch’s two forested properties of 81 and 46 acres are within ½ hour drive of the main campus.  These properties are ideal outdoor classrooms for student learning.  This assistantship position will be tasked with overseeing the management of the properties, implementing the forest management and supporting the environmental education programing.  General maintenance of the Glover’s ledge property would include trail clearing and brushing, trail and field mowing and trail construction.  Additional duties could involve maintaining a herbarium and overseeing field and lab equipment.  Attend biannual advisory board meetings and monthly Glover’s Ledge staff meetings.  Participating in current outdoor educational programs and promoting use following the goals and objectives of the management plans will also be expected.
