John Miller Musser Memorial Forest and Society Fellowships, USA
Fellowship for International Students, USA
Job Description: The Institute of Current World Affairs is searching for candidates for its Forest and Society Fellowship program. The Fellowship is aimed at forestry professionals who would like to explore the people and societies living in and around important forest resources outside of the United States. The purpose of this fellowship is to deepen our understanding of the factors that lead to destruction, preservation and sustainable uses of these globally important natural resources. We are also interested in solutions-oriented approaches that look at different policies and practices aimed at protecting forests.
The Institute takes a broad view of the possible areas or topics for the fellowship, which will be for two years. For example, potential themes include examinations of co-management of forest areas by government and local communities, effectiveness of forest certification and chain-of-custody, payments for environmental services, or carbon credits, inter alia. Applicants need not limit themselves to these illustrations.
The fellowship provides an extraordinary opportunity for a qualified individual to learn and develop communications skills in a relatively unstructured environment.
The ideal candidate would have professional forestry qualifications and would speak the relevant language of the area chosen for study. The Institute can provide support for training in order to close any gaps in fluency.
Those interested in applying should send an initial letter of interest and a resume by February 1, 2011, to Executive Director Steven Butler, briefly outlining the proposed project and explaining the personal background and professional experience that would qualify them for the fellowship.
Initial letters are preferred by email, however, fax and regular mail is also accepted:
