Ecosystem Workforce Program
The Ecosystem Workforce Program (EWP) is an applied social and ecological science research program at the University of Oregon.
We partner with natural resource managers, policymakers, and other practitioners to provide original research, monitoring, and communication products that promote landscape and community resilience.
Student Experience
Students across UO work with EWP faculty to assist with EWP research, collaborative project coordination, document design and layout, and general office support.
We provide UO graduate and undergraduate students with experiential education through work study employment, paid and unpaid internships, independent study, and graduate employment (GE positions). These opportunities advance students' understanding and technical skills through participation in real projects.
Students interested in working with EWP on research projects should first visit our current projects page to better understand our research topic areas.
