Fellowship Summary

Coastal Management Fellows work for two years with state coastal resource agencies on projects proposed by the hosts and selected by NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management. In a mutually beneficial arrangement, six fellows will be placed with a state coastal program. Information about 2019 State Projects can be found here.

This two-year opportunity offers a competitive salary, medical benefits, and travel and relocation expense reimbursement. The current salary is $34,000 per year. In the second year, a locality pay factor may be added to the salary, depending on the location of the fellowship.

Eligibility: For the 2019 fellowship, applicants must complete a master’s or other advanced degree by July 31, 2019, to be eligible. A broad range of degrees are applicable to the fellowship because the state projects are new and different each year. Previous fellows have had degrees in environmental studies, natural resource management, marine affairs, marine science, geology, public affairs, and regional land management.

The most important prerequisite is an interest in coastal issues.
