These positions will focus on supporting CBC's social science research around aquatic wildlife harvesting in New York City. This work will include interacting with harvesters/fishers to understand their motivations and practices through observation, discussions, and interviews at urban fishing sites across the city.

  • Conduct bibliographic and archival research.

The hiring range for the position at commencement is based on the type of work and the scope of responsibilities. The salary and placement offered is based on a number of individualized factors, including, but not limited to, skills, knowledge, training, education, credentials, areas of specialization, and depth and scope of experience.
