The Churchill Northern Studies Centre is currently hiring for three seasonal positions to support its research and community operations in Churchill, Manitoba, for the summer of 2026.
The facility, located 23 km east of town on the former rocket range, is seeking a Field Station Coordinator, a Program Assistant, and a Sustainability Technician. These roles are essential for maintaining the centre’s ongoing environmental and educational programs, which have supported hundreds of academic publications since the organization was founded in 1976.
The Sustainability Technician position has the most immediate deadline, with applications due by May 29, 2026. This role is responsible for supporting the Rocket Greens hydroponic food production project and a local composting initiative. Rocket Greens was established in 2017 in partnership with Growcer to provide residents with fresh, affordable produce. The project currently distributes between 250 and 400 pieces of produce weekly, with two-thirds going directly to community members.
The composting program also plays a significant role in the centre’s operations, utilizing an in-vessel system that processes organic waste to create nutrient-rich soil. The facility aims to increase its capacity as it continues to work toward sustainability goals.
The other two available roles include a Program Assistant, which runs from June 29 to August 29, 2026, and a Field Station Coordinator, which remains open until the position is filled. Those interested in applying for these roles can find more information on the Careers page of the centre’s website.
