Fellowships in Sustainability Science

Harvard University's Center for International Development

Due date for applications: December 1, 2009

The Sustainability Science Program at Harvard University's Center for
International Development invites applications for resident fellowships
in sustainability science for the University's academic year beginning
in September 2010. The fellowship competition is open to advanced
doctoral and post-doctoral students, and to mid-career professionals
engaged in research or practice to facilitate the design,
implementation, and evaluation of effective interventions that promote
sustainable development. Applicants should describe how their work would
contribute to "sustainability science," the emerging field of
use-inspired research seeking understanding of the interactions between
human and environmental systems as well as the application of such
knowledge to sustainability challenges relating to advancing development
of agriculture, habitation, energy and materials, health and water while
conserving the earth's life support systems. This year we will give some
preference to applicants who address the challenges related to meeting
human needs for water or food/agriculture/land use in the context of
sustainable development. In addition to general funds available to
support this fellowship offering, special funding for the Giorgio
Ruffolo Fellowships in Sustainability Science is available to support
citizens of Italy or developing countries who are therefore especially
encouraged to apply. The Sustainability Science Program is directed by
Professors William Clark and Michael Kremer, and Nancy Dickson. For
