Our Research Fellowship, _open to Ph.D. level researchers at all stages
of their careers_, offers a $10,000 fellowship plus residency (beginning
ast early at May and ending in August) for researchers in any science
discipline that can benefit from research station experience. The Fellow
will conduct on-site independent research, act as the primary mentor
for undergraduate students participating in the Preserve's Odum
Internship in Field Ecology (mid-June through mid-August), and lead the
Preserve's Thursday Lecture Series. Fellows are also encouraged to
participate in one of the Preserve's many public outreach programs to
share their research with the greater community. Preference will be
