The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE) is a nonprofit organization established in 1996 to take a leadership role in protecting and enhancing the Delaware Estuary, where fresh water from the Delaware River mixes with salt water from the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of 28 congressionally designated National Estuary Programs throughout the coastal United States working to improve the environmental health of the nation's estuaries. Its staff works with partners in three states to increase awareness, understanding, and scientific knowledge about the Delaware Estuary, the region's most important cultural, economic, and recreational resource.

JOB FUNCTION

The Science Fellow will report to the Science Director and assist in diverse science and restoration projects, including the following.

·         Assist the Science Director and Science Coordinator with day to day tasks of designing and implementing living shoreline R&D and demonstration projects.  Tasks to include site visits, baseline condition assessment, project design, procuring supplies, installation, and subsequent monitoring of performance.

·         Assist in field assessment of tidal wetland condition and monitoring. Tasks include measurement of biological, chemical and physical conditions using standardized methodology to characterize wetland health, function and stressors. Requires flexibility and organization skills to assist in managing travel and partner logistics support for work at various sites throughout the estuary and timed to coincide with tides and weather.  Office tasks include data entry, analysis, reporting and meetings.

·         Assist in various habitat restoration projects such as rain garden installation on public and private properties, potentially coordinating with schools, companies and other non-profits. The science fellow will be expected to help identify, design, coordinate and implement new habitat projects. Strong organizational and interpersonal skills are needed.

·         Assist with freshwater mussel surveys and other science and outreach activities in support of the Freshwater Mussel Recovery Program.  Tasks to include stream/river surveys, experiments to assess ecosystem benefits, data/specimen logging, analysis and reporting.

·         Assist in implementing key principles of the Regional Restoration Initiative, which seeks to identify restoration priorities based on science, and identify/develop projects/relationships to address those needs.  The science fellow will represent PDE’s commitment to professionalism and scientific integrity, helping to build and maintain relationships with representatives of the habitat and restoration community in the Delaware Estuary region and beyond via meetings and other actions. 

·         Assist the Science Director and other science staff in general field and lab support, preparing reports, convening conferences and workshops, and attending meetings as a representative of PDE, and the broader family of National Estuary Programs.

Scholarships are funded by the Linda Latham Scholarship fund, established in memory of Linda Latham who served as ACEEE's Chief Operating Officer until her untimely death in September 2011. Linda believed that students bring talent and creativity to the field of energy efficiency especially if we provide a venue to inspire and educate them.

Eligibility, the applicant must be an undergraduate or graduate student in an accredited college or university whose course work is related to energy/energy efficiency, climate change, environmental science, or a related field of study, and who is considering a career in energy/energy efficiency. 

"Latham Scholars" will be exposed to new ideas and opportunities as they interact with energy efficiency experts from around the world. In turn, Summer Study attendees will be able to meet these exceptional students- a reciprocal opportunity for all!

For the 2013 Summer Study, the Linda Latham Scholarship fund will award scholarships to students at three different scholarship levels. We have more Level III scholarships available than we do Level II, and more Level II scholarships than Level I. Chances of selection will be highest at Level III and lowest at Level I.

Level I scholars will receive full conference registration, housing and meals, and up to $500 for travel reimbursement. 

Level II scholars will receive full conference registration and housing and meals. 

Level III scholars will receive full registration to the conference.
