This Fellowship is part of the Oil & Gas Water Fellows Trio and is an opportunity to research and document water monitoring methods used by people to collect evidence on the environmental impacts of the oil & gas industry.
Starting: September 16th
Commitment: roughly 15-20 hours/week (200 hours over approx. 8-12 weeks)
Fellowship Stipend: $2,500
Where: This fellowship is open to anyone located in the United States
The major goals of this Fellowship are:
To research and post documentation on Public Lab on methods used by watershed groups, watchdog groups, states, universities, and individuals to organize and advocate for improvements on water quality issues in areas affected by the oil & gas industry.
To connect with individuals who do this type of monitoring, conduct interviews, and document their stories and experiences related to this work on PublicLab.org.
