*Fellowships in Sustainability Science*
Harvard University's Center for International Development
Due date for applications: December 1, 2010
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 2011. The fellowship competition is open to advanced doctoral and
post-doctoral students, and to mid-career professionals engaged in research
or practice to facilitate the design, implementation, and evaluation of
effective interventions that 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 whose work addresses
challenges of innovation for sustainable development, with special attention
to innovation in the energy, health and agricultural sectors. 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. The Sustainability Science Program is
directed by Professors William Clark and Michael Kremer, and Nancy Dickson.
For more information on the fellowships application process see

1, 2010.
