North Carolina Sea Grant and the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries<\/a> (DMF) are accepting applications for a fellowship opportunity for students nearing completion of an advanced degree program in natural resources or marine sciences.<\/p>\n

The one-year N.C. Marine Fisheries Management Fellowship, co-sponsored by Sea Grant and DMF, is open to graduate students nearing completion of, or who have recently completed, their advanced degree program at southeastern universities and colleges from Maryland to Texas.<\/p>\n

The selected fellow will be placed with DMF and North Carolina State University\u2019s Center for Marine Sciences and Technology<\/a>, beginning autumn 2014. Both facilities are in Morehead City, centrally located on North Carolina\u2019s Crystal Coast, overlooking Bogue Sound.<\/p>\n

The fellow will use spatial analytical approaches to estimate bycatch \u201chot spots\u201d from fishery-independent and -dependent data. Recommendations from the fellow\u2019s research will help the DMF assess and manage North Carolina\u2019s marine fisheries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe answers to complex North Carolina fisheries questions, like those posed about bycatch, will come from providing future scientists and managers with this type of field experience early in their careers,\u201d says Susan White, North Carolina Sea Grant executive director.<\/p>\n

Applications must be received no later than 5 p.m., Aug. 22, 2014<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
