The fellow will be able to spend time at any of these locations based on current project goals and deliverables. The fellowship position will be splitting time between office and field work. This full-time position provides many opportunities to learn about the U.S. Virgin Islands, its natural resources, and the workings of a territorial government. The fellow will be joining a large and well-established department in the Government of the Virgin Islands which offers an office environment with the support needed for somebody stepping into a new role. The mentors will communicate with the fellow daily through in-person interaction allowing for thoughtful collaboration on goals and plans and online workshare platforms through the government email system. Basic needs required for this position, such as a laptop, camera, office space, and an official department email address, will be provided with opportunities to upgrade based on the project's evolving needs.

Fellowship Position Description:
The fellow will work with the Territorial Parks and Protected Areas (TPPA) to oversee the geographic information systems (GIS) and database management tools relating to all projects within the Virgin Islands’ Climate Resilience Regional Challenge award. Primary mapping tasks will include maintaining accurate maps of land acquisitions, restoration progress, and watershed implementation projects, and working with the division’s communications specialist to create public friendly versions of these data. The fellow will also work with each project partner lead to develop and maintain monitoring protocol. This work will need to complement grant reporting goals to maintain consistent data management that is able to be shared with the principal investigator (PI), project leads, the external evaluator team, and NOAA staff. The fellow will be expected to work independently as well as with a team in order to ensure projects have input from a variety of stakeholders and expertise.
