She worked briefly as a postdoctoral fellow in the newly established Marine, Environmental Science, and Biotechnology Research Center at SSU in 1999 but was tasked in 2000 by the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) of NOAA Fisheries to develop a Cooperative Marine Education and Research (CMER) program at the university, the first of its kind at a Historically Black University. Since then, she has worked as a Fishery Biologist through the Galveston Laboratory of NOAA Fisheries and as an Associate Graduate Professor in the Marine Science program at SSU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Hoskins-Brown is based in Savannah and works with undergraduate and graduate students on a variety of ecological research topics. As a benthic ecologist, her research interests revolve around the ecology of deposit feeding organisms in marine sediments. However, recent projects have examined the recovery of a transplanted marsh, the effects of fishing and disease on blue crab populations, and seasonal fluctuations of macrofaunal and microbial communities in shallow sediments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Hoskins-Brown also hosts high school students in her lab, one of whom is working on socioeconomic project trying to document the historical role of African-Americans in the coastal economy of Georgia. She teaches graduate courses in benthic ecology and advanced environmetrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/lmrcsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2022\/10\/LMRCSC-Logo100.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/lmrcsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2022\/10\/LMRCSC-Logo100.png 100w, https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/lmrcsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2022\/10\/LMRCSC-Logo100-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>NOAA Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center<br>University of Maryland Eastern Shore (Lead Institution)<br>(410) 651-7870<br>Award numbers: FY 2021 Award #NA21SEC4810005<br>Funding Agency:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.noaa.gov\/office-education\/epp-msi\">NOAA Educational Partnership Program (EPP\/MSI)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PROGRAM DIRECTOR (Savannah State University) Associate Graduate Professor in Marine ScienceSavannah State University (SSU) Phone: (912) 358-4289 | Email:&nbsp;hoskins@savannastate.edu&nbsp;| Fax: (912) 358-4792 Website&nbsp;|&nbsp;Faculty Spotlight&nbsp;|&nbsp;SCCPSS Spotlight Education University of South Carolina, South Carolina (1999)Ph.D., Marine Sciences Savannah State College, Savannah, GA (1992)B.S.
