Academic Level: Graduate Students (Masters), Graduate Students (PhD)

Description: MESAS is an interdisciplinary NSF-funded Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program that incorporates social and natural sciences to explore new approaches to studying and managing marine ecosystems. The program uses case studies, courses, and seminars to teach the fundamental principles and analytical tools of fisheries science, oceanography, ecology, economics, management, marine policy, and anthropology to broadly train students in ecosystem-based approaches to living marine resources.

The MESAS program offers interdisciplinary marine ecosystem coursework, and provides opportunities for an internship with a partner organization, mentoring of undergraduate students, and interaction with the terrestrial sustainability IGERT at UAF. Students may locate in Juneau or Fairbanks. Fellowships are available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents seeking a PhD degree, and include a $30,000 annual stipend, tuition, health insurance, and research funding.
