The National Sea Grant College Program is announcing the FY2025 NMFS-Sea Grant Fellowship in Population and Ecosystem Dynamics and Marine Resource Economics. The fellowship aims to support students in careers related to marine ecosystem and population dynamics, as well as the development and implementation of quantitative methods for assessing the economics of the conservation and management of living marine resources. The fellowship will provide support for up to three years, with a maximum federal funding of $66,700 per year, plus at least 20% matching funding. The fellowship is open to U.S. citizens who are admitted to a Ph.D. degree program at a U.S. accredited university in a relevant field. Key aspects of the job include: • Research and development of quantitative methods for assessing the status of marine ecosystems • Development and implementation of quantitative methods for assessing the economics of the conservation and management of living marine resources • Work on thesis questions of public interest and relevance to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) • Collaboration with NMFS mentors at participating NMFS Science Centers or Offices • Contribution to NOAA's healthy oceans goal of "marine fisheries, habitats, biodiversity sustained with healthy and productive ecosystems"
