Description
This fellowship opportunity is offered through the NRC Research Associateship Programs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specifically within the Ecotoxicology Program at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center. The program focuses on pollution research to support NOAA’s mission of conserving and managing trust species, habitats, and ecosystems in coastal watersheds, estuaries, embayments, and nearshore marine environments.
Research projects address a broad range of toxic threats affecting aquatic ecosystems, including risks to endangered species, effectiveness of pollution control strategies, habitat restoration success, and emerging contaminants. Investigations span multiple biological scales from molecular biology to community ecology and emphasize collaboration with NOAA scientists and external partners such as academic institutions and other agencies.
The program aims to fill critical information gaps at the intersection of science and environmental policy, providing research that directly informs conservation and management strategies.
