ST. PAUL and DULUTH, Minn. — Minnesota Sea Grant is excited to announce the opening of the 2025 National Marine Fisheries Service-Sea Grant Fellowship competition for graduate students.
This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-Sea Grant fellowship anticipates funding at least four fellows in population and ecosystem dynamics and one fellow in marine resource economics for up to three years.
The population and ecosystem dynamics fellowship focuses on the development and implementation of quantitative methods for assessing marine ecosystems; for assessing the status of fish, invertebrate, and other targeted species stocks; and for assessing the status of marine mammals, seabirds, and other protected species. The marine resource economics fellowship focuses on the development and implementation of quantitative methods for assessing the economics of the conservation and management of living marine resources.
At the time of application, prospective fellows must be admitted to a Ph.D. program at an accredited university in the United States or its territories in population dynamics, ecosystem dynamics, resource or environmental economics, or a related field such as wildlife biology, fishery biology, natural resource management, marine biology, quantitative ecology, applied mathematics, applied statistics, or simulation modeling.
Deadline: Applications are due to Minnesota Sea Grant by 5 p.m. CT, Thursday, January 23, 2025 via eSeaGrant.
