Hi Jim
Long time no see, I hope you had a great grouse and woodcock season.  I’m forwarding along a job in our office for posting on the MSU site, if that isn’t in your wheelhouse could you let me know who it should go to?  This person would be working directly for me on coastal habitat restoration projects around the Great Lakes basin.  A recent grad student or exceptional recent undergrad would both be encouraged to apply.

I hope all is well, Happy Thanksgiving!

Regards
Eric

About the Great Lakes Commission
The Great Lakes Commission (GLC) is an intergovernmental agency created by the eight Great Lakes states and Congress to protect and wisely manage the Great Lakes, acting under the authorities of the Great Lakes Basin Compact of 1955. In 1968, Congress passed an Act authorizing its consent to the Compact. Since 1999, the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Québec serve as associate members. The states and provinces are represented on the GLC by delegation members appointed by each jurisdiction. The GLC is an integral component of the governance structure of the Great Lakes Basin— enabling party states and provinces to develop consensus around a common agency table and then speak with a unified, powerful voice on behalf of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River region and its 48 million residents. The GLC staff also invests in a wide range of project priorities for states, provinces and the Basin.
