Description
The Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) administers a competitive fellowship program supporting postdoctoral research in freshwater sustainability. Fellows work with a CIGLR Regional Consortium partner and a CIGLR or NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) scientist on a project of mutual interest. The program expands postdoctoral research training and strengthens collaborations between Consortium partners and NOAA GLERL to improve the effectiveness and impact of Great Lakes research.
Projects must address at least one of CIGLR’s Great Lakes research themes. Supported research has included investigating environmental influences on Lake Erie walleye movements, using satellite observations to improve Great Lakes forecasting, and studying the daily migration of Microcystis within the Lake Erie water column.
