ntegrative fellowship opportunity!<br>
<br>
The Doctoral Residency in Science Communication is a 12-month doctoral fell=<br>
owship sponsored by the United States Geological Survey Northwest Climate S=<br>
cience Center (USGS NW CSC) and the McCall Outdoor Science School (MOSS), a=<br>
program of the University of Idaho's College of Natural Resources (UI-CNR)=<br>
. During this residency, the Fellow will live and work at the UI-CNR McCall=<br>
Field Campus and undertake an immersive program in climate-related science=<br>
communication through guided study and mentored practice with a cohort of =<br>
other graduate students. The Fellow will receive an assistantship of $22,0=<br>
00 plus MOSS tuition and fees.<br>
<br>
Elements of the fellowship include:<br>
<br>
1) Targeted graduate coursework in science communication, place-based =<br>
education, leadership, and ecology. Coursework will lead to completion of =<br>
a Graduate Certificate in Place-Based Science, Education and Communication =<br>
from the University of Idaho.<br>
<br>
2) Participation in the 2016 USGS Climate Science Boot Camp at McCall,=<br>
ID.<br>
<br>
3) Mentored teaching of MS-level graduate students (as a Teaching Assi=<br>
stant).<br>
<br>
4) Mentored teaching of K-12 students participating in MOSS residentia=<br>
l science education programs as a field instructor and guest scientist.<br>
<br>
5) Opportunities for communicating climate science to various public a=<br>
dult audiences engaged in the MOSS network.<br>
<br>
6) An integrative approach to combining progress in the Fellow's ongoi=<br>
ng doctoral program with the graduate residency.<br>
A highlight of the program will be assisting in the planning and implementa=<br>

ctoral program, and pursuing research on a natural or social science aspect=<br>
of climate change. Fellowship activities will be supervised and mentored =<br>
by McCall-based UI-CNR faculty in collaboration with the student's major ad=<br>
visor to ensure that learning and productivity goals are matched with the F=<br>
ellow's overall doctoral program. Additional mentorship is available throu=<br>
