students)
To: "huce-faculty(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu" <huce-faculty(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu
Dear HUCE faculty associate –
I’m writing with a reminder that the application deadline for the HUCE
Graduate Consortium on Energy & Environment is this coming *Monday, June
26th*.
We ask that you share this opportunity with your master’s and/or doctoral
students, and encourage them to consider applying.
The application and additional information can be found on the program
website <http://environment.harvard.edu/graduate-consortium>, and any
questions can be directed to me.
Thanks for the consideration.
Best

*Subject: *Grad Consortium on Energy & Environment applications due 6/26.
Now accepting Master's as well as Ph.D. students
Dear Colleagues,
I wish to call your attention to the opportunity afforded to your graduate
students by the Graduate Consortium on Energy and Environment, which is
sponsored by the Harvard University Center for the Environment. The
program is open to master's and doctoral students enrolled in any of
Harvard's graduate schools and, so far, has enrolled over 160 students from
26 departments in 8 schools. It provides a valuable broadening experience.
It requires about the equivalent of a semester of full-time study, spread
out over 1-2 years, and offers fellowship support (to qualified doctoral
students) to offset the time expenditure. These and other benefits are
detailed below, along with the program requirements. The application
deadline is Monday, June 26, 2017. A flyer is attached, and I encourage you
to share it with students and colleagues in your department.
*Broadening Perspectives*
Through their participation in the Consortium, students have an
unparalleled opportunity to actively engage with, and learn from, faculty
and other students across a variety of disciplines with an interest in
Energy and Environment. Engagement in courses and seminars fosters
discussion and provides students with the broad perspectives needed to
address the challenges associated with the science, technology and policy
of energy and environmental issues.
*Eligibility*
To apply, students must already be enrolled in one of Harvard's graduate
programs, and doctoral students must have completed their first year of
study by the time they enter the program (Fall 2017). Space in the program
is limited, and priority will be given to doctoral students, if necessary.
Among the required materials is a letter from the advisor indicating that
the advisor supports the student's application.
*Requirements for Completion*
- Two energy/environmental courses, consisting of one policy course and one
science course:
*Policy Courses*
The Climate-Energy Challenge (IGA-411) - (H. Lee, J. Holdren)
*Prerequisites: TBD*
Energy Policy Analysis (API-164) - (J. Aldy)
*Prerequisites: Multivariate calculus*
Electricity Market Design (API-166) - (W. Hogan)
*Prerequisites: API-102, IGA-410 or equivalent; permission of instructor*
The Geopolitics of Energy (IGA-412) - (M. O'Sullivan)
*Prerequisites: None; permission of instructor*
*Science Courses*
The Consequences of Energy Systems (E-PSCI 239) - (D. Schrag)
*Prerequisites: College-level chemistry and physics; permission of
instructor*
Survey of Energy Technology / Energy Technology (ES 229 / ES 231) - (M.
Aziz)
*Prerequisites: A semester of college-level Newtonian mechanics, a semester
of single-variable calculus, and chemistry at the level of a good secondary
school course; permission of instructor*
Some courses have limited enrollment, and most courses have academic
prerequisites - students should consider the prerequisites for each course
when planning their program eligibility and course of study for the
program. Students can propose alternatives to the courses listed above,
but are expected to take graduate-level policy and science courses that
they would not normally take for their degree.
In addition to coursework, students are required to attend a weekly reading
and discussion seminar that meets once a week from 12:00-1:30pm during term
time, through which they meet a variety of scholars in energy and
environment from around the University and discuss materials that they will
have read in advance.
*Fellowships*
Doctoral students accepted into the Consortium are eligible to apply for
generous fellowship support provided by the Harvard University Center for
the Environment. These funds are intended to offset the time students
spend participating in the Consortium, and are awarded during the semesters
in which students are actively enrolled in one or more of the required
courses.
*Conference Travel Funds*
In keeping with the spirit of the Consortium, HUCE encourages participating
students to interact with other scholars and students beyond the
opportunities traditionally available in their primary field of research.
Doctoral students are eligible to receive up to $1,000 for expenses related
to attending conferences, workshops, or other appropriate professional
activities during their time in the program.
Best regards,
Mike Aziz
Faculty Coordinator, HUCE Graduate Consortium on Energy and Environment
