What is a Body Farm job?

A Body Farm job involves working at a research facility where human decomposition is studied in various environmental conditions. These facilities help forensic scientists, law enforcement, and medical professionals understand post-mortem changes, which aids in criminal investigations and disaster victim identification. Roles at a Body Farm may include forensic anthropologists, graduate researchers, and technicians who document and analyze decomposition.

What should I expect day-to-day when working at a body farm?

Working at a body farm, you can expect hands-on tasks such as monitoring decomposition, collecting data samples, recording environmental conditions, and maintaining research sites. The work often takes place outdoors in varying weather and can be physically demanding, with strict protocols to ensure safety and respect for donors. You’ll regularly collaborate with forensic scientists, students, and law enforcement professionals as part of a multidisciplinary research team. These responsibilities provide valuable real-world experience for those interested in forensic science careers and contribute directly to advancements in criminal investigations and research.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Body Farm position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a body farm position, you need a solid background in forensic science, biology, anthropology, or a related field, often supported by a relevant degree or research experience. Familiarity with data collection tools, laboratory instruments, and safety protocols—such as PPE and biohazard handling certifications—is crucial. Attention to detail, strong observational skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively are vital soft skills. These competencies ensure accurate research outcomes, safe practices, and seamless integration with interdisciplinary teams critical for advancing forensic knowledge.

Job description

Estate & Farm Steward
Location: Forts Ferry Farm + Adjacent Estate
Schedule: Full Time (Split Role: ~50% Estate / ~50% Farm)
About the Role
We're looking for someone highly capable and self-directed to take on the day-to-day care of two adjacent properties in the Capital Region: a private family estate and Forts Ferry Farm.
This role requires excellent communication skills, strong practical ability, sound judgment, and the ability to work independently. You will be responsible for noticing what needs attention, addressing it, and helping keep both properties running smoothly without requiring constant direction.
This is a role for someone who takes pride in doing things properly and follows through.
Scope of Work
Estate Responsibilities (~50%)
  • Maintain a private residence and surrounding property to a consistently high standard
  • Conduct regular inspections and address issues before they become problems
  • Oversee general upkeep, organization, and seasonal transitions
  • Ensure systems, structures, and grounds remain functional and well maintained

Farm Responsibilities (~50%)
Working with the Forts Ferry Farm team:
  • Support ongoing farm projects, repairs, and infrastructure
  • Maintain buildings, fencing, equipment, and systems
  • Assist with seasonal work and shifting operational needs
  • Contribute reliably to both planned and unplanned work

Maintenance & Repairs
  • Perform general repairs including carpentry, light electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work
  • Take ownership of small projects from start to finish
  • Diagnose issues and implement effective, lasting solutions

Contractors & Oversight
  • Engage and manage contractors when appropriate
  • Ensure work is completed correctly and to standard
  • Maintain clear communication and accountability

Organization
  • Keep tools, materials, and workspaces orderly
  • Track maintenance and ongoing project needs
  • Maintain straightforward systems that support the work

Response & Problem Solving
  • Address urgent issues promptly and calmly
  • Make sound decisions in real time
  • Prioritize long-term solutions over temporary fixes

Communication
  • Provide clear, concise updates
  • Raise issues early
  • Follow through without reminders

Qualifications
  • Relevant experience in property, estate, farm, or facilities work
  • Strong working knowledge of construction, maintenance, and repair
  • Proven ability to work independently and manage time effectively
  • Comfortable handling a wide range of physical tasks
  • Valid driver's license
  • Able to lift 50+ lbs and work in all weather conditions

What Matters
  • You notice things before they are pointed out
  • You complete work without needing to be chased
  • You keep spaces functional, orderly, and well cared for
  • You are steady, practical, and reliable

This role depends on trust. Once established, you will be given the space to do your job.
To Apply
