OBJECTIVES:  The Fellows Program is the premier program in the
world for those dedicated to a better understanding of critical
scientific and social issues related to meeting global sustainable
development goals. Post-doctoral fellows will join multidisciplinary
teams of outstanding, committed scientists from a diverse group of
Earth Institute research units and departments across Columbia
University. Candidates should submit a proposal for research based in
a core discipline or in a thematic area represented by the
Cross-Cutting Initiatives of The Earth Institute. The proposal should
indicate how the research will contribute to the goal of global
sustainable development. Proposals may include participating in and/or
contributing to an existing multidisciplinary Earth Institute project,
an extension of an existing project, or a new project that connects
existing Earth Institute expertise in innovative ways.

ELIGIBILITY
  Eligible applicants are outstanding scholars with recent doctorates
in the natural, social, engineering and health sciences who possess a
strong interest in sustainable development. Fellows must receive their
Ph.D., M.D. or J.D. prior to beginning their appointment.

FUNDING
  Fellowships will ordinarily be granted for a period of twenty-four
months.  Fellows will be provided with an annual salary of about
$48,000. Each Fellow is eligible for Columbia University health and
medical benefits. Fellows receive $7,000 for reimbursable expenses in
their first year and $5,000 in their second year. These funds can be
used for relocation and moving expenses, as well as for computer,
travel, conference, journal, book, software, equipment and other
research costs.  (jap)
