The NOAA Office for Coastal Management is recruiting candidates for the 2025 Coastal Management and Digital Coast Fellowship Program. This program’s mission is to provide on-the-job education and training opportunities in coastal resource management and policy for postgraduate students and to provide project assistance to state coastal zone management agencies and other key NOAA partners. The six fellowship positions start in August 2025 and are available with Maine Coastal Program/Maine Department of Marine Resources, Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, New Hampshire Coastal Program and New Hampshire Sea Grant, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, Oregon Coastal Management Program, U.S. Virgin Islands Coastal Zone Management Program. Eligibility requirements, descriptions of the projects, and guidance on how to apply can be found on their website at https://coast.noaa.gov/fellowship/

For the 2025 fellowship, applicants must complete a master’s or other advanced degree at an accredited U.S. university between Aug. 1, 2023, and July 31, 2025, to be eligible. A broad range of degrees are applicable to the fellowship because the projects are varied among the host organizations. This two-year opportunity offers a competitive salary, medical benefits, and travel and relocation expense reimbursement.

Application packages must be submitted to Louisiana Sea Grant office by Friday, Jan. 24, 2025, via LSG’s online eSeaGrant system.
