The program provides student fellows with a meaningful opportunity to work side-by-side with mentors who are marine scientists, policy makers, and resource managers. One mentor, Steve Rumrill (South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve), highlighted all the students and their experiences in the September newsletter of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF).

Summer Scholars program offers undergrads marine science experience

Posted on February 12, 2010 by kightp

A new Oregon Sea Grant Summer Scholars program is accepting undergraduate applicants who’d like to get an inside look at marine science and resource management careers by spending the summer working on a marine science project for a state or local agency.

Sea Grant plans to select five or more Summer Scholars, each of whom will spend 10 weeks this summer working with a marine research, outreach, education or public policy agency or institution in Oregon. Potential projects range from collecting and analyzing biological data to developing museum exhibits and assisting on information campaigns. Scholars will each receive a $2,000 stipend to help with living expenses.

The program is open to any undergraduate student who will have completed the equivalent of two years of full time study and is currently enrolled in any U.S. college or university. Students of color, from first nations, non-traditional students, and those from other diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

The application deadline is March 31.

Grad student sought for legislative internship

Posted on September 21, 2007 by kightp

Oregon Sea Grant is looking for a graduate student to assist the Oregon Coastal Caucus in enhancing legislative knowledge and planning related to the Oregon coast and its communities.

Candidates for this position should possess a strong interest in coastal and marine public policy, effective communication skills, the ability to be flexible, and a desire to learn about the Oregon legislative process. The intern will be expected to be objective on issues, maintain a non-partisan role, and be respectful of the legislators’ varied opinions.

This internship is currently available from Sept. 24 – Dec. 21, 2007. There is a high likelihood that the internship will be extended through the 2008 Special Session and beyond, contingent upon funding.
