Eligibility: Candidates for 2013 Environmental Fellowships should have received their terminal degree between May 2009 and August 2013. (Fellows must have completed all requirements of their degree before starting work in September 2013.) Candidates with a doctorate or equivalent in any field are eligible, and they may propose research projects in any discipline. Applicants without a Ph.D. may apply if they have studied in fields where the Ph.D. is not the typical terminal degree. All successful candidates will be able to demonstrate experience performing scholarly research.
Each candidate must secure a commitment from one or more Harvard faculty members to serve as a mentor and to provide office or lab space for the two-year fellowship. Candidates may have received their degrees at any university in the world. Foreign nationals are eligible for fellowships, though study at Harvard generally requires proficiency in English. Candidates who received terminal degrees from Harvard, and post-docs currently working at Harvard are eligible for the fellowship provided their research and host arrangements take them in new directions and forge new connections within the University. Harvard candidates should not propose to continue to work with the same professors or lab groups with whom they are currently associated. No candidate should propose to work extensively with his or her thesis adviser. Successful candidates should be prepared to commit to work at Harvard for the full two years of the fellowship.
Stipend: The fellowship will provide an annual stipend of $58,000 plus health insurance, a $2,500 allowance for travel and professional expenses, and other employee benefits.

The Center will organize a co-curricular program to ensure that the fellows get to know each other and each other's work. All fellows will attend biweekly dinners with their colleagues, faculty members, and guests.
Application: Applications and all letters of reference must be received by the Center for the Environment by 5 pm EDT, Wednesday, January 16, 2013. The Center will select a group of fellows and alternates by March 2013, and contact applicants with results at that time. A complete application includes:
