Application deadline: May 27, 2024

Description:  

Job opening within CRC's Environmental Management Career Development Program, which provides coordination and project support to the Chesapeake Bay Program.  

The Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) brings together leaders from state, federal and local government, as well as academia and the watershed’s many communities, to collaborate on creating the best strategies and tools for cleaning up the Bay and the rivers and streams that flow into it and engaging with diverse communities to restore habitat health for living resources and promote stewardship for an environmentally and economically sustainable Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Program is fueled by science and driven by partnership.

The Environmental Management Staffer in this position will support the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Healthy Watersheds Goal Implementation Team (HWGIT). The HWGIT works to keep local watersheds healthy across a range of landscapes, bringing attention to the challenge of protecting streams and watersheds that are healthy today and restoring waters if they become degraded. The HWGIT serves as a forum for shared learning and collaboration among Chesapeake Bay Program partners to promote the identification, assessment, vulnerability evaluation, and protection of waters and watersheds that have high ecological value throughout the greater Chesapeake Bay watershed. This Staffer position will also provide support to the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Forestry Workgroup and Federal Facilities Workgroup, both of which focus on water quality improvements in these respective areas.   

A competitive salary, vacation and benefits package is included for the three-year position. In addition to the experience gained through the Staffer's work assignments, CRC can support the Staffer's attendance at professional conferences, workshops, and training related to their position, identified future career interests and individual professional development plan.
