  ����Ӱ�� Fellows Program Position Description ����Ӱ�� Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA) Public Health & Outreach Fellow Sitka, AK This position is part of the ����Ӱ�� Fellows Program. All fellows live together, “in community,” in their respective host site. Each host site is unique and remarkable. At the Sitka site, fellows live in a house together as a cohort of 7. Fellows receive housing, a $1200 monthly living stipend and a $750 relocation stipend.

AMSEA provides affordable, hands-on, and locally relevant marine safety training year-round through a network of instructors based in port communities on ����Ӱ��, Pacific, Gulf and Atlantic coasts. ​In Southeast ����Ӱ��, where many residents work, live, and recreate on the water, it means that they face constantly changing risks and hazards. In addition to commercial fishing training, AMSEA offers marine safety training for traditional harvest and recreational boaters, youth, and workers on the water. We also provide contract classes for businesses, agencies, and organizations. Taking an Marine Safety Instructor Training course is also an option for those interested in teaching these programs.  Position Description:The Fellow serving at the ����Ӱ�� Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA) will play a key role in supporting marine safety, public health, and community outreach efforts focused on commercial fishermen and other workers on the water in Southeast ����Ӱ�� and beyond.

All roles lead to a healthier and safer marine and freshwater environment. A primary focus of this role is supporting AMSEA’s growing public health initiatives, including opioid overdose prevention and response programs tailored for fishermen and maritime workers. Strenuous work conditions and limited access to sick leave put fish workers at a higher risk for work related injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, chronic pain, substance use disorders, and death from opioid overdoses.

Responsibilities may include development of health materials and wellness resources, public health surveying, tracking response efforts, and distribution of educational materials.  In addition to public health programming, the Fellow will assist with community-based research projects that aim to improve commercial fishing safety through culturally relevant, locally informed interventions. In addition to research support, in this role the fellow may assist with curriculum development to ensure training materials reflect local knowledge, practices, and community needs. AMSEA also collaborates with other organizations in their research projects such as Sea Grant, the American Bureau of Shipping, Oregon State University, and University of Washington.  This role may also include assisting with grant research, proposal development, and reporting, as well as supporting communication efforts to share research findings and program impacts with funders, partners, and maritime communities.  Potential Duties: Duties will be tailored to the fellow’s interests, skills, and experience, and may include a combination of the following: Support coordination of an opioid overdose response program for fishermen and other workers on the waterAssist with distribution of opioid overdose response kits in collaboration with AMSEA instructors, fishermen, fish processors, and maritime workersCoordinate opioid overdose response training at mariners first aid classes, other fishing and boating safety classes, special events, and trade showsAssist with tracking, inventory management, and logistical support for opioid overdose response suppliesSupport program evaluation efforts, including data collection and feedback from instructors and community partners Assist in AMSEA’s research to improve commercial fishing safety Work with fishermen, ����Ӱ�� Native Elders, and other safety partners in remote fishing communities to support culturally relevant safety and public health initiatives.Assist the project’s principal investigator in literature reviews, participant recruitment, data collection, transcription of interviews, and reporting Assist in new development of community outreach projects to improve commercial fishing health and safetyWork closely with industry partners and experts to assist in the development, implementation, and evaluation of community-based outreach strategies Assist with curriculum development and educational materials that reflect local knowledge, Indigenous knowledge, and community needsAssist with and receive mentorship from staff in grant writing Other duties related to AMSEA’s missionAssist with classes such as Youth Programs, Recreational Boating, First Aid, and Commercial Fishing Drill Conductor ClassesProvide administrative support, including trainee data entry and basic program documentationAssist in training gear maintenance, scheduling, and inventory check in/outSupport special projects and emerging initiatives based on your interests and goals  Qualifications:Academic, professional, and personal background in the following is preferred:  Public health; social sciences; health sciences; epidemiology or related fieldsInterest in or experience with community-based research, outreach, or public health programmingExperience or interest in outdoor activities, adult or youth education, boating, or work in marine industries  Additional Expectations: Serve as a marine safety role model in the community and on social media (i.e., wearing a PFD when appropriate and not drinking while boating, etc.) Follow AMSEA’s policies and procedures.Maintain a positive relationship with the public and co-workers.Share needs, progress, or problems with the program director or executive director. Work Authorization: This host organization is currently unable to sponsor visas. To Apply: Please complete the google form linked HERE including submitting all requested application materials. Application Materials: RésuméCover letter / statement of purpose of no more than 2 pagesThree references to be contacted
