Friends,
American Rivers has launched the Anthony A. Lapham River Conservation
Fellowship program. It provides an excellent professional development
opportunity for talented post-graduates pursuing careers as leaders in the
field of conservation advocacy. The Fellowship will be supported by a team
of conservation staff and members of our Scientific and Technical Advisory
Committee, which includes some of the nation's foremost experts on
freshwater and other conservation science and policy. See attachment for
details. Highlights include:
- 12-month fellowship beginning in the summer of 2008 (July - Sept;
month negotiable)
- Based in DC
- Focus on an applied research project that in one of the following: (1)
sustainably managing our freshwater resources; (2) restoring rivers (through
approaches such as dam removal) and achieving natural flood protection by
restoring the natural functions of rivers, wetlands and floodplains; (3)
conserving America's heritage by protecting our remaining free-flowing
rivers and connecting communities to their rivers; and (4) achieving
resiliency in natural and human communities in the face of global warming.

ecology, hydrology, geomorphology, public health, public policy, law,
economics, engineering or related fields.

The fellowship honors the memory of Anthony A. Lapham who served for many
years on the board of American Rivers, including as its Chairman. He left
an indelible mark not only on American Rivers and many other conservation
organizations, but on conservation efforts across this land. The program
reflects his integrity, intellect, concern for humanity and commitment to
excellence. We are seeking candidates who possess these qualities.
Please take a moment to think about who you know that might be interested in
