Web AddressDescriptionSeeking postdoctoral and post‑master’s applicants for the J. Philip Keillor Wisconsin Coastal Management‑Sea Grant Fellow.
The Wisconsin Sea Grant College Program and the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program seek postdoctoral and post‑master’s candidates interested in tackling science and policy challenges related to increasing coastal community resilience across the Great Lakes region. Together, these programs will fund a state fellowship position, named in honor of a longtime Sea Grant coastal engineering expert Phil Keillor, to celebrate his legacy in building resilience in Wisconsin communities.
The Fellow will work closely with Wisconsin Coastal Management Program’s Coastal Hazards Work Group, Sea Grant’s coastal engineer, local government representatives, and researchers from a variety of fields to tackle the important challenge of connecting science related to coastal processes –including flooding, erosion, and storms – with communities that could benefit from the information.
This Fellowship position provides a unique educational and career opportunity for a recent graduate interested both in coastal resources and the policy decisions affecting those resources in Wisconsin. The program places a recent master’s or doctoral graduate within a state agency full-time for one year, with the Fellow bringing technical skills to address water issues while receiving valuable real‑world science‑policy experience from the resource professionals who serve as mentors.
These mutual partnerships result in advancing science to support policy decisions as well as valuable training opportunities for new professionals entering the workforce. The fellowship provides strong mentoring and relationship-building with an emphasis on the Fellow's professional development and success.
