Research Fellowships
By utilizing graduate and professional school students as research fellows, the N.C. Coastal Resources Law, Planning and Policy Center Research
Fellowship provides additional professional training to students that otherwise they would not receive in a classroom setting.
In addition, the Center assists students in obtaining supplementary professional training in environmental and coastal law, planning, and policy through fellowships, internships and externships, and in finding placements with government agencies, law firms, and businesses where such training has value.
There are several national research fellowships available for graduate students interested in pursuing a career in coastal and ocean policy.
- The National Sea Grant Federal Fellows Program/Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship
The National Sea Grant Fellows Program — named for John A. Knauss, one of Sea Grant's founders — provides a unique experience to students with an interest in national policy issues affecting ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources. The one-year, paid fellowship matches highly qualified student researchers with hosts in the legislative branch, the executive branch, or appropriate associations/institutions located in the Washington, D.C. area.
Students in a graduate or professional degree program in a marine or aquatic-related field may apply. Applications are initially reviewed by the Sea Grant program nearest to the student's graduate institution. For more information, contact North Carolina Sea Grant's coordinator, Sara Mirabilio.
- NOAA Coastal Services Center's Coastal Management Fellowship
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Management Fellowship provides on-the-job education and training opportunities for post-graduate students in coastal resource management and policy, and provides specific technical assistance for state coastal resource management programs.
The two-year program matches highly qualified, recently graduated master's, professional, and doctoral degree students with hosts around the U.S. in state coastal zone management (CZM) programs. Applications are initially reviewed by the Sea Grant program nearest to the graduate's residence or graduate institution. For more information, contact North Carolina Sea Grant's coordinator Sara Mirabilio.
