Harvard Environmental Fellows Program (Postdoc)
The goal of the program is to create a community of interdisciplinary researchers united by intellectual curiosity, top-quality scholarship, and a drive to understand鈥攚orking alongside Harvard faculty hosts鈥攐ur most compelling environmental challenges. Program alumni are currently working at universities like Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, Stanford, the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, and Ohio State University. Other former Fellows are working at research institutes around the world and in new energy start-ups. We are looking for the very best candidates with environment-related research interests across all science disciplines, social sciences and policy, and the humanities.
The Center will award approximately six two-year postdoctoral fellowships this coming spring for an award to start in September 2016. The fellowships are among the most generous at Harvard, paying a salary of $62,000 per year with benefits eligibility and $2,500 each year for professional/research expenses. The application deadline is January 13, 2016. The Center asks applicants to propose a research program and to secure a commitment from one or more Harvard faculty members to host their work. Hosts provide office or lab space as well as mentoring, and the Center handles the rest of the administrative responsibilities.
