USA: Post-doc Environmental Fellows Program, Harvard

The Environmental Fellows Program at Harvard University
Cambridge, MA

The Harvard University Center for the Environment will name six new Environmental Fellows in April 2009. Their two-year post-doctoral program will start in September 2009. The fellows will join a group of remarkable scholars who will be beginning the second year of their fellowships. Together, the Environmental Fellows at Harvard will form a community of researchers with diverse backgrounds united by intellectual curiosity, top-quality scholarship, and a drive to understand some of the most important environmental challenges facing society.

Purpose:
The Harvard University Center for the Environment created the Environmental Fellows program to enable recent doctorate recipients to use and expand Harvard's extraordinary resources to tackle complex environmental problems. The Environmental Fellows will work for two years with Harvard faculty members in any school or department to create new knowledge while also strengthening connections across the University's academic disciplines.

The award:
The fellowship will provide an annual stipend of $54,000 plus health insurance, a $5,000 allowance for travel and professional expenses, and other employee benefits.

Application Deadline: January 15, 2009

Eligibility Requirements
Candidates should have received their terminal degree between May 2005 and August 2009. (Fellows must have completed all requirements of their degree before starting work in September 2009.) Candidates with a doctorate or equivalent in any field are eligible, and they may propose research projects in any discipline. Applicants without a PhD may apply if they have studied in fields where the PhD is not the typical terminal degree. All successful candidates will be able to demonstrate experience performing scholarly research.

Each candidate must secure a commitment from one or more Harvard faculty members to serve as a mentor and to provide office or lab space for the two-year fellowship.

Harvard is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. The Center strongly encourages women and minorities to apply.

Candidates may have received their degrees at any university in the world. Foreign nationals are eligible for fellowships, though study at Harvard generally requires proficiency in English.

Candidates who received terminal degrees from Harvard, and post-docs currently working at Harvard are eligible for the fellowship provided their research and host arrangements take them in new directions and forge new connections within the University. Harvard candidates should not propose to continue to work with the same professors or lab groups with whom they are currently associated. No candidate should propose to work extensively with his or her thesis advisor.

Successful candidates should be prepared to commit to work at Harvard for the full two years of the fellowship.

Selection criteria:
Applicant's prior academic and professional success and his or her potential contribution to scholarship or practice.

Project significance:
The potential impact of the research project on scholarship at Harvard and on environmental problems.

Diversity:
The selection committee will select a group of fellows in 2008 who will complement those selected last year, creating a group of approximately a dozen men and women with diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds and a diverse set of academic interests and skills. The ideal group would include fellows working with host faculty members at every one of Harvard's professional schools and many of the departments overseen by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Recipients-and hosts-may include people with degrees in the sciences, economics, law, government, public policy, public health, medicine, design, and the full array of humanities. Their research topics
will be equally varied. Interdisciplinary research projects are encouraged, although this is not a requirement for the fellowship. Candidates with interests in a single discipline are encouraged to apply.

Host's commitment:
The host faculty member's enthusiasm for the proposed project and fellow, the host's ability to mentor the fellow, and his or her ability to provide office space and a productive work environment.

Finding a Host: Potential candidates should start early to identify and establish a relationship with a Harvard faculty member to host his or her research. The host will be a mentor to the fellow and will provide office space and basic administrative support. In agreeing to be a host, the faculty member is making a significant commitment.

USA: Postdoctoral Fellowship on Global Energy Transitions

Post-doctoral fellowship relating to the theme: Global Energy Transitions: The International Political Economy and Security Implications of a Shift Away from Fossil Fuels
Institute of International Studies University of California, Berkeley

UC Berkeley's Institute of International Studies (IIS) welcomes applications for a 2009-2010 post-doctoral fellowship relating to the theme: Global Energy Transitions: The International Political Economy and Security Implications of a Shift Away from Fossil Fuels. IIS seeks a fellow whose research will contribute to the following question: What are the global political, economic, and security implications of a partial shift from fossil fuels to other energy sources? (biofuels, nuclear, other renewables) The reigning assumption in policy circles is that reducing American dependence on fossil fuels would enhance America's freedom of action and be almost entirely a good thing from a geopolitical perspective. For example, it would reduce US dependence on authoritarian regimes, constrain funding for terrorist organizations, slow global climate change, and free up potentially dangerous transportation choke points around the world. Is this conventional wisdom robust? For example, an alternative view is plausible: 'complex energy interdependence' of the type we have now constrains geopolitical action in desirable ways, re-distributes wealth in patterns that are stabilizing to the global economy, and creates shared interests among otherwise highly competitive great powers. What is certain from previous historical experience is that global energy transitions - for
example from coal to oil - had profound and long-lasting implications not only for global energy markets, but also for military and corporate strategy, environmental and economic policy, and ultimately, international politics.

The objective of this post-doctoral fellowship is to promote analytically sophisticated research that both questions assumed premises, and also evaluates other political, economic, and military consequences of such a shift - both intended and unintended. IIS promotes interdisciplinary research in international, comparative, and policy studies on the Berkeley campus of the University of California (http://globetrotter .berkeley. edu/).

This post-doctoral opportunity is part of a broader project on the political economy of energy transitions, supported by the Energy Biosciences Institute (http://www.energybi osciencesinstitu te.org/index. php).

UC Berkeley offers a unique environment to pursue this research agenda, as home to multiple institutes, departments, and programs devoted to the study of energy, environment, technological innovation, and international politics, including the Institute for International Studies, the Energy and Resources Group, the Institute of the Environment, and the Energy Biosciences Institute.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. The post-doctoral fellowship will be for academic year 2009-2010 (nine-ten months).

The University of California, Berkeley is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity in its staff, faculty, and student body, and invites all qualified people to apply, including minorities and women, veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Applications from all disciplines in the social science and humanities are encouraged.

Doctoral degrees must be in hand by August 15, 2009.

Application packages should include a two-page CV, a transcript, two letters of recommendation, a two-page dissertation summary, and a five-page written statement. The statement should include your experience and interest in researching energy-related themes and/or working in energy policy, as well as a proposed research question(s), methodology, and publication goals for academic year 2009-20010. Please mail complete application package (CV, transcript, dissertation summary and project statement) to the address below. We cannot review incomplete packages. The two letters of recommendation may be sent separately also to the address below.
