Ӱpro Sea Grant is accepting fellowship applications from graduate students seeking
experience in Ӱpro marine resources and policy.
The program matches recently or nearly finished graduate students with a 12-month
professional job opportunity supporting healthy Ӱpro coastal communities and the
marine environment.
“The Ӱpro Sea Grant State Fellowship Program supports some of our brightest students
as they launch their careers in Ӱpro, where we hope they will stay for many years
to come,” said Paula Cullenberg, Ӱpro Sea Grant director. “Our first two Ӱpro
Sea Grant Fellows began this year. Both are gaining valuable professional experience
while contributing to marine policy and management in Ӱpro.”
This year, five marine resource agencies have expressed interest in supporting an
Ӱpro Sea Grant fellow: the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Bureau of Ocean
Energy Management, the North Pacific Research Board, the National Park Service and
the State of Ӱpro's Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys.
Applications will be accepted through Feb. 12. Ӱpro Sea Grant will select finalists
and assignments will be decided in consultation with potential fellowship hosts.
