Fellowships

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Postdoctoral Fellowship
Academic level	Postdoctoral	Focus	Research	Duration	More than a year
Notes	Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory offers postdoctoral fellowships in the earth, environmental and ocean sciences. Lamont-Doherty researchers work to understand the dynamics of earth's chemical, physical and biological systems, from its inner core to upper atmosphere, as well as its interactions with humans. Successful candidates have a record of scientific excellence and a clearly expressed plan to investigate problems at the forefront of earth science. For more information, see the program website.

Lead Now Fellowship
Academic level	Other	Focus	Leadership & Communications	Duration	Year or less
Notes	The Lead Now Fellowship will train, support, and inspire youth to become leaders in advancing sustainable development. We will accomplish this by giving, a diverse group of six young people (age 13-26) a suite of leadership skills; experience applying these skills in a sustainable development initiative of their choosing; and mentoring and training by SustainUS alumni and partners who are leaders in the field. Ultimately, the Fellowship will better train and inspire young leaders to carry out their own projects to serve the global community.

Liber Ero Fellowship Program
Academic level	Postdoctoral	Focus	Research	Duration	More than a year
Notes	The Liber Ero Fellowship Program seeks to support early-career scientists to conduct and communicate world-class research that informs conservation and management issues relevant to Canada. For instance, post-doctoral scholars are encouraged to confront emerging management challenges that are time sensitive or tackle ‘wicked’ conservation problems with novel analyses, perspectives, and novel collaborations. See the program website for more information.

Link Foundation Energy Fellowships
Academic level	PhD	Focus	Research	Duration	More than a year

Marc Hershman Marine Policy Fellowship
Academic level	Masters, PhD, Postdoctoral	Focus	Policy	Duration	Year or less
Notes	The Hershman Fellowship places five graduate students or recent graduates for one year with host offices in Olympia, Seattle or Tacoma, Washington, working on ocean and coastal science and management issues. The Fellowship offers a first-hand experience in crafting marine and natural resource policies and enables fellows to share their academic expertise with state decision makers. Individuals who are graduate students enrolled at Washington universities or who have graduated in the calendar year the fellowship begins may apply. See the program website for more information.

Middlebury Fellowships in Environmental Journalism
Academic level	Other	Focus	Leadership & Communications	Duration	Year or less
Notes	The Middlebury Fellowships in Environmental Journalism each year take 10 journalists near the start of their careers and help them work through an ambitious reporting project in print, web-based, or radio journalism, from the beginning through publication or broadcast. Fellows meet together twice during the year, once in the fall on the Middlebury campus in Vermont, and once in the spring at the Monterey Institute of International Studies in California. For more information, see the program website.

National Center For Environmental Assessment Post-Doctoral Research Program
Academic level	Postdoctoral	Focus	Research	Duration	More than a year
Notes	National Center For Environmental Assessment supports an active postdoctoral program providing federal research experience to up-and-coming environmental scientists. These non-laboratory, post-doctoral positions are ideal for scientists interested in learning more about the application of toxicological, epidemiological and environmental research to support the development of human health and environmental risk assessments and science policies related to risk assessment. For more information, see the program website.

National Estuarine Research Reserve Graduate Research Fellowship
Academic level	Masters, PhD	Focus	Research	Duration	More than a year
Notes	The National Estuarine Research Reserve System’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program supports graduate students interested in coastal and estuarine sciences.
