National Marine Fisheries Service - Sea Grant Joint Graduate Fellowship Program in Population and Ecosystem Dynamics and Marine Resource Economics

The NMFS-Sea Grant Joint Fellowship Program in Population and Ecosystem Dynamics and Marine Resource Economics is designed to help Sea Grant fulfill its broad educational responsibilities and to strengthen the collaboration between Sea Grant and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Since 1990, Sea Grant and NMFS have partnered to train students through this joint fellowship program in two specialized areas: population and ecosystem dynamics as well as marine resource economics. Population and ecosystem dynamics involve the study of fish populations and marine ecosystems to better assess fishery stock conditions and dynamics. This fellowship provides support for graduate students pursuing Ph.D. degrees in these specialized fields, offering comprehensive funding for stipend, tuition, fees, equipment, supplies, and travel necessary to carry out proposed research and attend the annual Fellows meeting. The program is available to U.S. citizens enrolled in or provisionally accepted to Ph.D. degree programs in academic institutions in the United States and its territories.
