Dear Colleagues,

Please help us spread the word!



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 *J. Philip Keillor Wisconsin Coastal Management-Sea
Grant Fellow* 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 Natural 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 with communities that could benefit
from the information. There is some flexibility in the specific questions
and approaches that the Fellow will tackle and employ, and we seek
applicants from a variety of backgrounds including engineering, geology,
meteorology, social sciences, ecological modeling, limnology, etc. Some
specific priorities include:

   - Continue the UW Sea Grant update efforts on the Coastal Processes
   Manual (3rd Ed)
   - Assist with a NOAA Coastal Resilience Grant project as opportunities
   arise, including creating education materials on resilient coastal
   practices, participating in community engagement activities, and developing
   web-based resilience resources.
   - Assist Fellow partners with extension opportunities associated with
   building resilience in Wisconsin communities
   - Pursue relevant coastal hazards and resilience opportunities with
   other local, state, and regional Great Lakes entities as they arise,
   including coordination with Illinois and Indiana programs and participation
   in the Great Lakes Chapter of the American Beach and Shore Preservation
   Association

This Fellow will be stationed in downtown Madison with the Coastal
Management Program at the Wisconsin Department of Administration, and will
be working with researchers from across the state, region and country, in
addition to stakeholders and policy-makers in Wisconsin. The position
requires occasional travel, including overnight stays.  Annual stipends are
dependent on the Fellow’s academic background, with post master’s Fellows
earning $40,000 and postdoctoral Fellows earning $55,000, both with
additional benefits (see -
http://www.ohr.wisc.edu/benefits/new-emp/grad.aspx).



More detail including application instructions is in the attached
fellowship announcements.  *Deadline for applications is March 28, 2019.  *
