Resources for the Future (RFF) will award resident fellowships for the 2011-2012 academic year in honor of Gilbert F. White, retired chairman of the RFF Board of Directors, distinguished geographer, and statesman of science. The fellowships are intended for researchers who have a doctorate degree and wish to devote a year to scholarly work in areas related to natural resources, energy, or the environment. Social scientists as well as natural scientists interested in policy-relevant interdisciplinary research are encouraged to apply. Because fellows will interact closely with RFF researchers, selection criteria will include the nature of the applicant’s proposed research program and how it fits with RFF work in progress.
Eligibility
The award is open to individuals in any discipline who have completed their doctoral requirements by the beginning of the 2011-2012 academic year. Teaching and/or research experience at the postdoctoral level is preferred though not essential. Individuals holding
positions in government as well as at academic institutions are eligible.
Application Deadline: February 18,2011.
