At Meridian, we believe that collaboration is best learned through hands-on experience and mentorship. Through our Ruckelshaus Fellowship, early-career professionals are immersed in the art and science of collaborative problem-solving.

Ruckelshaus Fellows work as Project Assistants and are integral members of our project teams. They provide research, writing, communications, and other support to senior staff.  Fellows learn to navigate complex dynamics and find solutions to controversial issues. The program provides opportunities for Fellows to define their career interests, gain hands-on experience, and develop new networks within a dynamic professional environment.

The Fellowship is a two-year, full-time paid position for recent college graduates. Selected Fellows begin work each summer at either Meridian’s Dillon, CO or Washington, D.C. offices. Those with graduate-level training are ineligible. Applications for the Fellowship are currently open and close on January 12, 2020.
