Scholarship Description
Harvard University initiated the Sustainability Science Program to offer doctoral, post-doctoral, and mid-career fellowships. The fellowships are tenable during Harvard's academic year beginning in September 2016.
The Sustainability Science Program aims to facilitate the design, implementation, and evaluation of effective interventions that promote sustainable development.
Eligibility
The Sustainability Science Fellowships are open to advanced doctoral and post-doctoral students, and to mid-career professionals engaged in research or practice that advances the goals of the program. Prospective fellows should have a focused personal research or writing objective that is consistent with those goals.
Applications for the mid-career fellowships are invited from individuals in governmental, non-governmental, private organizations, or academia with at least five years of professional experience doing work involved in linking science and practice for sustainable development.
Applications for the post-doctoral fellowships are welcome from recent recipients of the Ph.D. or equivalent degree. (Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. between 2011 and 2016.)
Applicants for a doctoral fellowship must currently be enrolled in a doctoral program and have passed their qualifying exams (completed coursework and passed oral and/or written exams) by July 2016. Applicants whose doctoral programs do not require qualifying exams must have completed all the required coursework for the Ph.D., since fellows will not be doing course work while at Harvard.
Applications are solicited from individuals working in the natural and social sciences as well as relevant professions.
