Fellowships in Sustainability Science
Center for International Development, Harvard University
Due date for applications: 1 February 2008
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 2008. 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. 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 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. For more information on the
fellowships application process, see
