America: Coastal Management Fellowship for Postgraduate Students
North Carolina Sea Grant is accepting applications for the 2007 Coastal Management Fellowship for postgraduate students.

Sponsored by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Services Center, the two-year fellowship provides professional on-the-job education and training opportunities in coastal management and policy. It also provides project assistance to state coastal zone management programs, including the N.C. Division of Coastal Management.

The program offers a competitive salary, medical benefits and travel and relocation expense reimbursement.
