Subject: Seeking postdoctoral and post-master's candidates for the Wisconsin Coastal Management-Sea Grant Fellowship

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 a state Science-Policy 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 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.

There is significant flexibility in the specific questions and approaches that the Fellow will tackle and employ, and we seek applicants from a variety of backgrounds including social sciences, engineering, resource management, geology, geography, meteorology, ecological modeling, limnology, etc. Following the recent record high water levels on the Great Lakes, demand for guidance on resilience is high and there are many opportunities for the Fellow’s work to help communities facing hazardous conditions. Some specific opportunities include:

  *   Assist the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program and Wisconsin Sea Grant in building resilience in Wisconsin coastal communities. Depending on skills and interest, the fellow may develop mapping tools, create educational materials, communicate with stakeholders, provide technical assistance, participate in community engagement or coordinate meetings.
  *   Help finalize updates to and provide guided outreach on Wisconsin Sea Grant’s Coastal Processes Manual (3rd Ed). This manual demonstrates methods to assess the threat of hazards like flooding, shoreline erosion, and dangerous currents and waves to coastal properties and communities. Efforts may include assisting with editing and production, coordinating outreach events and trainings, and developing tools or hazard data to support use of the manual.
  *   Provide support and participate in activities of the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program - attend Wisconsin Coastal Management Council meetings, assist with annual grants program, update the grants program StoryMap, facilitate workshops and other trainings, and engage in other WCMP initiatives.
  *   Engage with and support existing networks of local, state, federal and university partners that are working collaboratively on coastal resilience. This may lead to fellow to pursue coastal hazards and resilience opportunities with these partners as they arise.
  *   Communicate coastal resilience science and policy work at state, regional, and national conferences.

This Fellow is intended to be stationed in downtown Madison with the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program at the Department of Administration, and will work with researchers from across the state, region and country, as well as stakeholders and policy-makers in Wisconsin. The fellowship mentor team will include Kate Angel and Mike Friis (Wisconsin Coastal Management Program) and Drs. Adam Bechle and Jennifer Hauxwell (Wisconsin Sea Grant). The position requires occasional travel, including overnight stays. Work arrangements may need to be flexible and may evolve amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, adhering to all University of Wisconsin-Madison and state directives and guidance.

More detail including application instructions is in the attached fellowship announcements. Deadline for applications is April 10, 2022.
