The Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) is seeking an individual for a three-year Environmental Management Staffer position within its Environmental Management Career Development Program. All CRC Staffers in the Environmental Management Career Development Program support the work of the Chesapeake Bay Program. The Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) brings together leaders from state, federal and local government, as well as academia and the watershed’s many communities, to collaborate on creating the best strategies and tools for cleaning up the Bay and the rivers and streams that flow into it and engaging with communities to restore habitat health for living resources and promote stewardship for an environmentally and economically sustainable Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Program is fueled by science and driven by partnership.
The Environmental Management Staffer in this position will support the CBP’s Thriving Habitat, Fisheries, and Wildlife Goal Team which works to protect, restore, and sustain fisheries and wildlife, as well as the network of land and water habitats they depend on, to promote a balanced and resilient ecosystem and support local economies and recreational opportunities.

The goal team’s work focuses on the following outcomes described in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement: blue crabs, brook trout, fish habitat, fish passage, oysters, stream health, submerged aquatic vegetation, and wetlands. The goal team convenes natural resource managers from federal, state, and local jurisdictions; scientists; practitioners from non-governmental organizations, and engaged stakeholders to identify and implement activities, leverage resources to facilitate projects, develop recommendations to advance goal attainment, and track progress. There are three Staffers that support the work of the Thriving Habitat, Fisheries and Wildlife Goal Team and its outcome related workgroups.

New Fall 2026 course - ANTH 410/610 Knowledge Co-Production
ANTH 410/610 Knowledge Co-Production: Theory, Method, Practice
FALL 2026 - 3 credits
TuTh 2-3:13pm
Woods Hall 1102
Instructor: L. Jen Shaffer, PhD
Contact: lshaffe1@umd.edu for more information
Short Description:
Knowledge co-production is increasingly promoted as the gold standard for scientists, policy makers and implementers, industry reps, local community members, and other stakeholders to assess issues, collect data, and develop effective solutions to the, problems communities face. This course delves into the intricate process of knowledge co-production, where diverse stakeholders collaborate to generate, share, and apply, knowledge.
While this course will emphasize environmentally-oriented research and applied problem-solving, readings and discussion can be useful for students in many disciplinary fields.
Some of the Questions Our Course-Learning Will Address:
· What is knowledge?
· How do we produce and share knowledge in a Western context? How does this relate to post-normal science?
· How is knowledge produced and shared in Indigenous, Traditional, and local contexts? Citizen science? Inter/Multi/Trans-disciplinary teams?
· What methods are used for knowledge co-production? What does "successful" knowledge co-production look like?
· What are the benefits and challenges of knowledge co-production?
· Are there variations in how knowledge co-production proceeds depending on the problem-type being addressed (e.g. biodiversity conservation, community health, food/water security, cultural heritage preservation, landscape management, resilience for environmental change, disaster management, etc)? If so, does this matter and why?
· What are potential participant issues with the knowledge co-production process itself, both known (power differentials, legacy of previous experiences, participant capabilities and capacities, unknown outcomes) and unknown?
· What foundational information is needed prior to implementing a knowledge co-production process (e.g. historic and existing relationships of participants, participant networks)?
· How do we make knowledge co-production adaptive, flexible, and sustainable once the funding and other structural support is gone?
