Sustainability Science Fellowships at Harvard University

Doctoral, Post-doctoral, and Mid-career Fellowships

Due date for applications: January 15, 2014 The Sustainability Science Program at Harvard University invites applications for resident fel-lowships in sustainability science for the academic year beginning September 2014. The fel-lowship 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. Some of the most serious constraints to sustainable development lie in the interconnections among sectors: energy’s growing need for water; the impacts of water use on human health; the competition for land among food, energy and conservation initiatives; and the cumulative impact of sector initiatives on climate and other key environmental services. A central chal-lenge is to develop an integrated understanding of how sector initiatives for sustainability can compete with and complement one another in particular regional contexts. The 2014-15 fellowship competition therefore focuses on regional initiatives pursing an integrated per-spective on sustainable development in India, China and Brazil. It also includes a cross-cutting research initiative to integrate work focused on the theme of Innovation for Sustaina-ble Development. Preference in this year’s competition will be given to applicants whose proposals complement one or more of these four initiatives. The Initiatives (see below), are led by Professors William Clark, Henry Lee, Paul Moorcroft, and Rohini Pande. The Program is also open, however, to strong proposals in any area of sustainability science. 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, Brazil, China, India or developing countries who are therefore especially encouraged to apply. For more information on the fellowships application process see http://www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/mrcbg/programs/sustsci/fellowships. Applications are due January 15, 2014 and decisions will be announced in March 2014.

The Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona and the Center for Mesoamerican Research (CIRMA) invite you to participate in a study abroad program in Antigua, Guatemala. This is a summer, spring and/or fall semester program. Stu-dents receive a University of Arizona transcript. Most courses can be taken for honors credit, and some can be taken for graduate credit. The real uniqueness of Study Abroad at CIRMA is our commitment to a transforma-tional pedagogy. Our program weaves together rigorous theoretical engagement in themes such as human rights, development, climate change, and indigeneity with on-going reflection of current events, home stay experiences, top/notch language train-ing and profound encounters with Guatemalan activists, artists, students and schol-ars.

study abroad students are also doing internships at Safe Passage/Camino Seguro in Guatemala City. Safe Passage provides life-transforming aid to children of families who live in a barrio marginal.

Study abroad students have found that lending a hand to this incredible organization not only makes a real difference in the world, but that it changes their own lives as well. This internship can be accompanied by a directed reading in Latin American urban history or urban anthropology. a colloquium series that brings in renowned political, social and cultural leaders to
