[Pollinator] Announcing two new Smithsonian fellowships to address climate change and environmental justice!

[Krupnick, Gary]

Smithsonian Fellowships Focus on Climate Change and Environmental Justice

Our planet faces unprecedented and interrelated crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and a global pandemic. Nationally, the United States is also confronting our complicated history and legacy of race and racism. As the largest museum, education, and research complex -- with 23 museums, numerous research centers, and the National Zoological Park -- the Smithsonian’s vast collections, exhibits, current and historical data sets, and in-house expertise provide a unique opportunity to inform interdisciplinary approaches and solutions to many of these challenges.

Through a new initiative, Our Shared Future: Life on a Sustainable Planet, the Smithsonian aims to advance solutions that fill us with optimism for our planet and all species that call our planet home. As part of this initiative, the Smithsonian is launching two new fellowship programs: Smithsonian Climate Change Fellowship<https://fellowships.si.edu/CCF> and Smithsonian Environmental Justice Fellowship<https://fellowships.si.edu/EJF>. Each program will support a cohort of 2-5 fellows for a period of two years. Fellows will receive a stipend to conduct independent research that utilizes Smithsonian resources (e.g., data, facilities, expertise). Fellows with research projects that have the potential to produce rapid results and impact are especially encouraged to apply.

Application deadline: August 31, 2022.

Eligibility: Applicants for Postdoctoral Fellowships must have or will have received the Ph.D. by the time the fellowship begins. Applicants must propose to conduct research in-residence for a period of no less than 12 months and no more than 24 months. Preference given to applicants with start dates before March 1, 2023.

Term: 24 months.

Stipend: Candidates will receive a stipend of $62,000 per year for Postdoctoral Fellows. Stipends are prorated for periods of less than 24 months. A maximum research allowance up to $5,000 is available.

Please help us spread the word. More information about the various research opportunities and eligibility guidelines can be found here: Our Shared Future: Life on a Sustainable Planet | Office of Academic Appointments and Internships (si.edu)<https://fellowships.si.edu/CCEJ>
