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.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation launched a new Grand Challenges (GC) request for proposals, “Catalyzing Equitable Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use”.

You can find additional information about the call for proposals at this link.

Harnessing the potential of AI can improve the lives and wellbeing of vulnerable communities everywhere including those of women and children. As AI technology continues to swiftly evolve and advance, the global community must move with urgency to ensure low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are included in the co-creation process.

This request for proposals seeks innovative and safe approaches to the use of Large Language Models (ChatGPT-4, or other credible sources with equivalent capability). The foundation hopes to build an evidence base on this issue – informed by the communities we serve – to ensure this technology ultimately improves the lives of the world’s most vulnerable people. This initial call is an opportunity to identify, nurture, and catalyze the creativity, energy, and skills that researchers, implementers, governments, and technical partners have demonstrated in solving specific challenges in their countries and regions through Large Language Models. We are optimistic that this will lead to more investment from the Gates Foundation, GC partners, and other funders.
