Seeking postdoctoral and post-master’s applicants for the Wisconsin Water Resources Science-Policy Fellowship with a focus on evaluation of atrazine data and effectiveness of restrictions on atrazine use
Application Deadline: March 17, 2024
The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Aquatic Sciences Center (UW), home to the University of Wisconsin Water Resources and Sea Grant Institutes, and in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) seek postdoctoral and post-master’s candidates interested in tackling timely science and policy challenges related to water resources management and water quality in Wisconsin. Together, these programs will fund a Wisconsin Water Resources Science-Policy Fellow position. This program places a recent master’s or doctoral graduate within a state program full-time for one year, with the Fellow bringing technical skills to address water issues and tackle groundwater quality challenges and receiving valuable real-world science-policy experience from the resource professionals who will serve as mentors. This mutually beneficial partnership will result in advancing science to support policy decisions as well as valuable training opportunities for new professionals entering the work force.
This fellowship offers a placement within the Environmental Quality Unit at DATCP in Madison to gain insight into and contribute solutions for the significant water quality challenges linked to atrazine use and its detection in Wisconsin’s drinking water. This unique position entails working with both people and data on the atrazine issue, focusing on protecting human health and ensuring the safety of drinking water through data evaluation, groundwater sampling and outreach efforts.
