Appalachian Headwaters is accepting applications for their Summer Pollinator Fellowships.
Description: The Headwaters Summer Pollinator Ecologist Fellow will be focused on teaching high school and college interns, as well as younger day-camp participants and some community programming.
The fellowship is based in Lewisburg, West Virginia during the summer of 2024. The position includes housing and a stipend of $35,000. The stipend will cover 10-11 weeks of full-time work during the summer and limited remote preparation for the summer session during the preceding academic year.
Eligibility: PhD or master’s level scientist/educator working in a field of study relevant to pollinators (e.g., ecology, natural resources, plant and soil science, biology, wildlife, etc.) are welcome to apply. We seek applications from educators who would engage with Appalachian ecology. This work must be related to pollinators (broadly defined). We seek an accomplished person with a strong environmental ethic and a commitment to working with young people.
Background: Appalachian Headwaters is a nonprofit organization based in Lewisburg, West Virginia. Headwaters is focused on environmental education, especially related to climate change and native ecosystems. For the summer of 2024, we intend to hire two fellows: the Arts and Humanities Fellow and a Pollinator Ecologist Fellow (PhD level ecologist). The fellows will work together with Headwaters staff to run programs for a day camp for students in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. The Fellows’ work will be focused on the high school and college interns. It will be a busy summer.
Application: To apply, submit a cover letter and CV to kasquith@appheadwaters.org. Please describe your interests and experience and how it would relate to our work.
