Dear Colleagues,
We are extremely pleased to announce that the Institute on the
Environment (IonE) at the University of Minnesota has 4 new openings
for Global Environmental Leadership Fellows.
These Fellows will be part of a novel research and training
environment, aimed at preparing the next generation of leaders to
address the world¹s environmental grand challenges. We are searching
for fellows to conduct cutting-edge research to develop solutions to
pressing global issues, such as land use and ecosystem management,
global food security, freshwater resources, climate change adaptation,
emerging diseases and links between population & development.
Fellows will design and carry out their own groundbreaking research,
in collaboration with interdisciplinary teams of University of
Minnesota faculty. Fellows will be housed within the Institute on the
Environment and will be encouraged to engage in partnerships with
other academic, business or NGO partners nationally and
internationally. Fellows will also participate in advanced
leadership training activities to enhance skills in public speaking,
collaboration, conflict resolution, media relations, and engagement of
leaders from business, NGOs and government, as well as developing
systems thinking tools and other transdisciplinary competencies.
Applications are due by August 1, 2010.
Please share this with your students, colleagues and list-serves as
appropriate. (And my apologies if you received this more than once.)
Thank you!
Best Regards, Jon Foley
