Harvard University Environmental Fellows Program 2018 (Salary of $66,000/year)

 

Deadline: January 17, 2018

The Harvard University Center for the Environment welcomes application for the 2018 Environmental Fellows Program. The Harvard University Center for the Environment created the program to enable recent doctorate recipients to use and expand Harvard’s extraordinary resources to tackle complex environmental problems. The Environmental Fellows work for two years with Harvard faculty members in any school or department to create new knowledge while also strengthening connections across the University’s academic disciplines.

The Harvard University Center for the Environment expects to award approximately six fellowships for the 2018 cohort. The Center organizes a co-curricular program to ensure that the fellows get to know each other and each other’s work.  All fellows join in biweekly dinners along with Harvard faculty and a speaker also from amongst the Harvard faculty.

The Environmental Fellows program is integral to the Center’s work, directly supporting work on the environment across the University, and helping bring diverse groups of scholars together to learn from one another and address some of the broadest challenges facing society
