[Beasiswa] [INFO] Fellowships in Sustainability Science, Harvard University
Fellowships in Sustainability Science, Harvard University
Fellowships in Sustainability Science
Center for International Development, Harvard
University
Due date for preliminary applications: December 15,
2006
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
2007.
The fellowship competition is open to advanced
doctoral and post-doctoral students, and to
professionals engaged in the practice of harnessing
science and technology to promote sustainable
development.
Successful applicants will spend their fellowships in
residence at the Sustainability Science Program,
receiving a competitive stipend plus health, office
space and computer support, and access to Harvard’s
libraries and other research facilities.
Fellows will be expected to spend about half time on
their own work, and half time in collaborative work
with other fellows and faculty associated with the
Program.
The Sustainability Science Program seeks to advance
basic understanding of the dynamics of
human-environment systems; to facilitate the design,
implementation, and evaluation of practical
interventions that promote sustainability in
particular places and contexts; and to improve
linkages between relevant research and innovation
communities on the one hand, and relevant policy and
management communities on the other.
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.
In addition to general funds available to support this
fellowship offering, special funds are available to
support applicants from developing countries and
Italy, who are therefore particularly encouraged to
apply.
Applicants should send via email (not hard copy) a
preliminary application by 15 December 2006.
The preliminary application should include:
a cover sheet(http://www.cid.harvard.edu/sustsci/grants/fellows/07_fellows_cover_sheet.htm),
preliminary research proposal (3 pages maximum), and
CV (3 pages maximum).
It should be emailed to mailto:tosustsci_grants@
Applicants will be notified by December 22 whether
they are invited to submit a full proposal.
Full proposals must be supported by a Harvard faculty
member who is prepared to work with the fellow.
Fellows may make their own faculty contacts, but the
Program will also seek to facilitate matching of
faculty with fellows.
The deadline for full applications is 1 February 2007.
The Program invariably receives more strong
applications than can be supported with
the funds available. Prospective fellows are therefore
strongly urged to pursue additional sources of
stipendiary and research support that they can draw on
if they are admitted to the fellowship program but
full funding is not available to cover
their expenses. Applications from those with their own
resources are also welcome.
