Applications are now being accepted for the 2023 John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship, which is sponsored by NOAA’s National Sea Grant College Program. View the opportunity on grants.gov.
The Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship provides a unique educational and professional experience to graduate students who have an interest in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The program matches highly qualified graduate students with “hosts” in the legislative and executive branches of government located in the Washington, D.C. area for a one year paid fellowship, which is anticipated to begin February 1, 2023.
An eligible applicant is any student, regardless of citizenship, who was enrolled towards a degree in a graduate program at any point between the onset of the 2021 Fall Term and February 18, 2022. The graduate degree needs to be awarded through a United States accredited institution of higher education in the United States or U.S. Territories. This is a onetime fellowship opportunity. Applicants that have participated in the fellowship in past years will not be eligible to submit an application. The one-year fellowship will take place in the National Capital region, so applicants must be able to reside in the Washington, D.C. area. Non-U.S. citizens are responsible for obtaining the appropriate visa to allow them to work in the Washington, D.C. area during the fellowship period.
All interested applicants are encouraged to contact Christian Hauser (hauser@udel.edu), Associate Director of the Delaware Sea Grant College Program, to indicate their interest and discuss the application process. Completed applications are due to Christian Hauser via email by 5:00 p.m. local time on February 18, 2021. Please note, past and current Knauss fellows have offered their assistance to prospective fellows in reviewing draft applications and providing feedback. Delaware Sea Grant is pleased to connect prospective applicants with the Fellows.
