The campus is located in Bellingham, Washington, a coastal community of 90,000 overlooking Bellingham Bay, the San Juan Islands and the North Cascades Mountain range. The city lies 90 miles north of Seattle and 60 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia.

Western has additional sites in Anacortes, Bremerton, Everett, Port Angeles, and Poulsbo. Western is recognized nationally for its successes, such as being named one of the top public master's-granting institutions in the Pacific Northwest for 25 years in a row by U.S. News & World Report.

Western Washington University is committed to achieving excellence through advancing inclusive success, increasing our Washington impact, and focusing on transformational education grounded in the liberal arts and sciences and based on innovative scholarship, research, and creative activity. Western's greatest strength is the outstanding students, faculty, staff, and alumni/ae who make up its community.

In pursuit of this excellence, individual employees are expected to establish and maintain productive and effective inclusive working relationships amongst diverse populations including staff, faculty, administration, student, and external constituents.

About the Department

The Marine and Coastal Science Program (MACS) is an interdisciplinary major at WWU created to help students develop into confident, thoughtful, ethical scientists who are ready to address the growing challenges affecting our marine and coastal environments. The major combines resources and expertise from the Biology Department, the Chemistry Department, the Geology Department, the Department of Environmental Sciences, and the Shannon Point Marine Center, located in Anacortes about an hour away from main campus.

The major is built around a cohort model in which students engage deeply with their peer group while learning about the tools, concepts, and context of marine science. MACS welcomes one cohort of 30 students per year, for a total of 60-90 students in the program at any given time. There are eight core faculty members in the program, numerous affiliate faculty, four additional staff members, and an academic director.

The Marine and Coastal Science Program supports Western's mission, which states that together with our students, staff, and faculty, we are committed to making a positive impact in the state and the world with a shared focus on academic excellence and inclusive achievement. We encourage applications from women, people of color, people with disabilities, veterans, and other candidates from underrepresented backgrounds and with diverse experiences interested in this opportunity.
