The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is a leading voice for U.S. protected waters, is seeking a Maritime Archaeologist, who will work with the Foundation and NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) as the primary point of contact for maritime archaeology and history. Specifically, the Maritime Archaeologist will be responsible for assisting with the sanctuary designation process in the Eastern Region.
In 2023, the Biden-Harris Administration directed the Department of Commerce to move forward with the designation process for five nominated national marine sanctuaries. Three of those designations are located in the ONMS Eastern Region: Hudson Canyon National Marine Sanctuary, Lake Erie Quadrangle National Marine Sanctuary, and Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary. This designation effort supports President Biden’s America the Beautiful initiative by expanding the National Marine Sanctuary System, addressing inequitable access to the outdoors and supporting locally led conservation.
This is currently offered as a two-year term position. Position may be extended based on continued availability of funding. The Maritime Archaeologist supports the scope of a federal cooperative agreement award between the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries that focuses on public engagement in the designation process of new national marine sanctuaries. The position is embedded within the ONMS Eastern Region and will initially work remotely in the Great Lakes or in the Mid-Atlantic area of New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania, until office space is identified.
The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation is committed to a culture of inclusion, equity, and belonging. We are dedicated to attracting and retaining a diverse staff. We honor experiences, perspectives, and unique identities, and welcome the contributions that you can bring to the dedicated team. With a diverse team of employees, we can grow and learn better together and achieve our mission to protect the health of the ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes for current and future generations.
What You’ll Do
Support sanctuary designations in the Eastern Region by contributing to sanctuary proposal documents, including the draft environmental impact statement, draft sanctuary management plans, and relevant environmental review analyses.

Work on development of maritime and cultural heritage protection, education, outreach, and research programs. Develop outreach products and policy documents.
