New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium is pleased to announce the release of The 2022 National Marine Fisheries Service-Sea Grant Joint Fellowship Program. Learn more about the fellowship program here.

The NMFS-SG Fellowship seeks applications for up to three years of funding for a Ph.D. student working in partnership with a NMFS mentor on projects in Population and Ecosystem Dynamics and/or Marine Resource Economics.

• Population and Ecosystem Dynamics: Sea Grant anticipates funding at least four new Ph.D. fellowships in 2022 to students who are interested in careers related to marine ecosystem and population dynamics, with a focus on modeling and managing systems of living marine resources. The emphasis will be on the development and implementation of quantitative methods for assessing marine ecosystems for assessing the status of fish, invertebrate, and other targeted species stocks and for assessing the status of marine mammals, seabirds, and other protected species.
• Marine Resource Economics: Sea Grant anticipates funding one new Ph.D. fellowship in 2022 to students who are interested in careers related to the development and implementation of quantitative methods for assessing the economics of the conservation and management of living marine resources.
