The Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) is seeking an individual to coordinate and further the development of the Chesapeake Student Recruitment, Early Advisement, and Mentoring (C-StREAM) internship program. CRC aims to play a critical and central role in defining, coordinating, and disseminating the research and education needed to best contribute to the decision-making process for effective and sustainable management of the Chesapeake Bay, its watershed, and its living resources. We recognize that we can only achieve this mission if all voices and perspectives are represented within the Bay’s science and management community.

The CRC, its member institutions, and the federal agencies with whom the CRC routinely cooperates through its C-StREAM program (e.g., NOAA, US EPA) aim to evolve and strengthen a leadership pathway that attracts and retains a diverse community of both undergraduate mentees and mentors so that the necessary diversity of perspective and experience is applied to the protection and restoration of complex human-impacted ecosystems. The Program Coordinator would be responsible for all aspects of C-StREAM program implementation while working to further develop the program according to the program’s guiding principles and practices.  The Program Coordinator will also assist in the development of sustained sources of funding for the Program Coordinator position.
