Life on a Sustainable Planet Fellowships
Deadline: October 15, 2024. Life on a Sustainable Planet envisions a future in which humanity lives in balance with the natural world. Through collaboration with global partners, we advance our collective understanding of how nature and human communities interact to pursue nature-based solutions for a more resilient Earth for all. As a part of this initiative, the Smithsonian offers three in-residence fellowship programs: the Smithsonian Climate Change Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Smithsonian Community and Environment Fellowship, and the Resilience and Sustainability Science Postdoctoral Fellowship.Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP)
Deadline: October 15, 2024 11:59 PM EST - The Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program offers opportunities for independent research or study related to Smithsonian collections, facilities, and/or research interests of the Institution and its staff. Fellowships are offered to graduate students, predoctoral students, and postdoctoral and senior researchers to conduct independent research and to utilize the resources of the Institution with members of the Smithsonian professional research staff serving as advisors and hosts.Short-Term Fellowships
The Short-Term Fellowship Program allows selected candidates to come to STRI at any time of the year and is an excellent resource to provide support for graduate students and introduce them to tropical research. Although focused primarily on graduate students, awards are occasionally given to undergraduate and postdoctoral candidates. These fellowships enable selected candidates to work in the tropics and explore research possibilities at STRI.
3-Year Postdoctoral Fellowship
STRI’s most prestigious postdoctoral fellowship is awarded once a year to an outstanding candidate in one of the many research fields practiced at STRI. Successful candidate will conduct a three-year research program based at a STRI facility, typically in the lab of a staff scientist who serves as host or advisor on the project.
