This two-year fellowship with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife will support the creation of an Enhanced Status Report (ESR) and/or statewide management plan for bull kelp and giant kelp.
The fellowship will include engagement with the dynamic team of California Sea Grant extension specialists who work with state and federal agencies, municipalities, nonprofit organizations, local businesses, and members of the California coastal community, to identify emerging marine resource problems and opportunities, conduct applied scientific research, and share findings with stakeholder groups. The extension fellow will gain on-the-job experience in planning, implementation, and management, providing a unique educational opportunity for recent graduate students interested in outreach, marine resources and the policy decisions that affect them.
Eligibility: This fellowship is open to candidates who are close to completing or have recently completed (after May 1, 2018) an advanced degree (Masters, PhD, JD) from an accredited U.S. university, in a field related to marine biology, marine ecology, and/or marine resource management. The fellow must complete all degree requirements prior to starting the fellowship
Location: Eureka, CA
Deadline: February 7, 2020
