Creating pathways into marine science, policy and industry careers for individuals who are historically underrepresented in those fields.
_____________________________________________________________
The Washington Sea Grant Keystone Fellowship offers a unique career development opportunity for a soon-to-graduate or recently-finished graduate student in ocean, coastal and policy issues. In 2020 this one-year paid fellowship will place a Keystone Fellow with mentor Nathalie Hamel of the Puget Sound Partnership.

The Fellow will work primarily on science and/or policy projects with an additional emphasis on work related to the advancement of social justice, racial equity and inclusion in these professional spaces. Keystone Fellows receive mentorship both through their host office and through participation in professional development activities with WSG.

The Fellowship offers first-hand experience working on projects that help us better understand, conserve and utilize Washington’s ocean and coastal resources while building pathways into marine related careers for individuals who are historically underrepresented in those fields.
The program seeks to recruit students who are underrepresented in marine science and policy fields, especially Black, Indigenous and other people of color (BIPOC) as well as representatives of the LGBTQ+ community and allies.
 
 
Applications are due by 5:00 p.m., July 29, 2020, and must be submitted via eSeaGrant. Interviews will be held remotely during the first week of August.

Fellowship Dates: October 2020 – September 2021
