Marine Protected Areas and Community and Citizen Science

The Center for Community and Citizen Science seeks a graduate student researcher (GSR) to help kickstart a new grant-funded project focused on the role that community and citizen science (CCS) has played in the management of marine protected areas (MPAs) in California. 

The position would involve a 25-50% time commitment, for spring and summer quarters in 2021. The GSR will work with the Executive Director and Faculty Director, engaging with a diverse group of projects and programs through which volunteers have been participating in coastal and ocean monitoring over the last decade. We’ll be developing a framework for gathering and analyzing preliminary data about these programs, and helping to scope a longer-term project that (pending further funding), would continue through 2022 (ongoing support for a GSR during that timeframe is possible but uncertain).
