[SEMCO] 2018 NOAA Coastal Management/Digital Coast Fellowship Program Open to Applicants

[Information]

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management is recruiting candidates for the 
2018 Coastal Management/Digital Coast Fellowship Program.  This 
program's mission is to provide on-the-job education and training 
opportunities in coastal resource management and policy for postgraduate 
students and to provide project assistance to state coastal zone 
management agencies and other key NOAA partners. The fellowship 
positions start in August 2018 and are available at the California 
Coastal Commission, the coastal programs in the Commonwealth of the 
Northern Mariana Islands, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, and Washington; the 
Coastal States Organization in Washington, DC; the National Association 
of Counties in Washington, DC; and the National States Geographic 
Information Council, which will be hosted in Anchorage, Alaska. 
Eligibility requirements, descriptions of the projects, and guidance on 
how to apply can be found at coast.noaa.gov/fellowship 
<http://coast.noaa.gov/fellowship> and on the attached information.

For the 2018 fellowship, applicants must complete a master’s or other 
advanced degree at an accredited U.S. university between January 1, 
2017, and July 31, 2018, to be eligible. A broad range of degrees are 
applicable to the fellowship because the projects are varied among the 
host organizations. This two-year opportunity offers a competitive 
salary, medical benefits, and travel and relocation expense reimbursement.

Application packages must be submitted to the Sea Grant office in the 
state where you received your degree by Friday, January 19, 2018. You 
can find contact information for Sea Grant in your state here:
