The Uni­ver­sity of Cal­i­for­nia Nat­ural Reserve Sys­tem is pleased to announce that the Mediter­ranean Reserve Man­agers Inter­na­tional Coop­er­a­tive (MRMIC) Fel­low­ship is now open for competition.

Two fel­low­ships will be awarded to those inter­ested in the con­ser­va­tion and man­age­ment of pro­tected areas in Mediterranean-type ecosys­tems (MTEs). This com­pe­ti­tion is open only to the Mediter­ranean Reserve Man­agers Inter­na­tional Coop­er­a­tive, as well as all UC NRS reserve man­agers. Each award is $5,000 for fis­cal year 2011-12.

The MRMIC Fel­low­ship is offered to sup­port the inter­na­tional exchange of reserve man­agers, sci­en­tists, and other qual­i­fied indi­vid­u­als inter­ested in the con­ser­va­tion and man­age­ment of pro­tected areas in Mediterranean-type ecosys­tems (MTEs). The award is intended to sup­port travel among reserves and other pro­tected areas in MTEs. Fel­lows are expected to work with, learn from, or con­duct col­lab­o­ra­tive research with ecosys­tem man­agers from other MTEs.
