ABOUT THE ROGER ARLINER YOUNG DIVERSITY FELLOWSHIP
Inspired by efforts to increase racial diversity in conservation and clean energy, the Roger Arliner Young (RAY) Diversity Fellowship Program aims to increase and facilitate environmentally-related career pathways for emerging leaders of color. The RAY Fellowship Program is a paid fellowship designed to equip recent college graduates with the tools, experiences, support, and community they need to become leaders in the conservation and clean energy sectors—one that, in our visions of the future, fully represents, includes, and is led by the diverse communities, perspectives, and experiences of the United States.
POSITION SUMMARY
This position will be an integral part of the Coastal Wetlands team at Pew and will focus on an exciting body of scientific research and policy development across three countries: Seychelles, Belize, and Costa Rica. In addition, the Fellow will help to scope out the next round of countries for our work and will assist in developing associated partnerships. Candidates should have an interest in environmental policy, environmental and climate justice, coastal habitat protection, and the application of scientific research to inform the policy process. Members of the Coastal Wetlands team are collaborative, have strong analytical, communication, and time management skills, and represent the team both internally and externally. A background in ecology, oceanography, marine science, environmental policy, or social sciences is preferred but not required. The Fellow will gain experience in designing and managing international projects, supporting in-country policy development, and strengthen both scientific and policy communication skills.
