We are currently hiring for the following positions
Sea Grant Fellow (12-month fellowship)
The Georgia Sea Grant State Fellowship Program provides a unique educational and professional opportunity to eligible graduate students who are interested in coastal and marine resources in Georgia, and the policy and management decisions affecting those resources.
Modeled after the highly successful Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Program, the State Fellowship Program is designed to provide recent graduates an opportunity to acquire “on the job” experience in planning and implementation of coastal and marine policies and programs in Georgia. The program matches highly motivated graduate students who have recently graduated or are near completion of degree with select host local, state and federal government agencies as well as non-governmental partners and industries in Georgia. The fellowship program serves to increase the capacity of our partners in Georgia, promote integration of diverse perspectives into problem-solving for Georgia to provide richer and more inclusive solutions and facilitate training and development of the next generation of coastal and marine leaders.
Eligibility: Applications may be submitted by a graduate student close to completing their degree (Masters, Ph.D., or J.D), or within a year of their graduation, in a field related to conservation, management, protection, stewardship, public policy, or law of marine or coastal environments, or areas that impact marine and coastal environments. Applicants should address their degree of interest and experience in either marine/coastal/watershed science, natural resource management, public policy or law. Fellows must complete all degree requirements before starting the fellowship.
Length of the Assignment: The length of fellowship is 12 months. The fellowship begins on August 1, 2022 and ends on July 31, 2023. However, the final start and end dates are determined by the host office and selected fellows.
Stipend and Expenses: Sea Grant State Fellows receive a stipend of $35,000 for 12-month assignments. Additional travel or professional development funding associated with the fellowship may be covered by the host agency at the agency’s discretion.
