This includes supporting climate monitoring and assessment to track changes in sea level, precipitation, water temperature, and the resulting ecosystem response and pursuing, designing, and implementing climate adaptation activities that enhance resilience of the Chesapeake Bay.

The position is currently funded through May 31, and may be extended pending the availability of additional funding. The duration of the position will not exceed three years.

The candidate selected for this position will be involved in core leadership team activities associated with the CRWG and will gain experience working with natural resource managers and scientists from agencies and institutions around the Chesapeake Bay region.

As the CRWG Staffer, you would also help the CRWG make more substantial progress in updating climate change indicators, exploring collaborative opportunities to promote the use of climate science in existing decision support tools, and coordinating with the CBP communications and local engagement team to facilitate and connect climate change science with local stakeholder needs.
