Washington Sea Grant Fellowship (Due 6/21/23)
Posted: 5/26/2023 (Funding)
The Washington Sea Grant Keystone Fellowship offers a unique career development opportunity for recent graduates of masters or Ph.D programs in ocean, coastal and policy issues. In fall 2023, this one-year, paid fellowship will place a Keystone Fellow with the Seattle Aquarium with primary mentorship by Riley Pollom (Species Recovery Program Manager) and co-mentorship from Jasmine Williams (Connections Program Manager) and Erin Meyer (Vice President of Conservation Programs and Partnerships).
The Fellow will work primarily on science and/or policy projects with an additional emphasis on work related to the advancement of environmental justice, social justice, racial equity, and inclusion in these professional spaces and/or the programs they operate. Keystone Fellows receive mentorship both through their host office and through participation in professional development activities with Washington Sea Grant. The Fellowship offers first-hand experience working on projects that help us better understand, conserve and utilize Washington’s ocean and coastal resources while building pathways into marine-related careers for individuals who are historically underrepresented in those fields.
The program seeks to recruit students who are underrepresented in marine science and policy fields, especially Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) as well as representatives of the LGBTQ+ community and allies.
