Applications are open for the Global Sustainability Scholars Fellows Program 2021. The GSS Fellows program offers a 10-week paid immersive training and mentoring with a global sustainability organization.
Fellows will gain professional work experience, receive professional mentorship and professional development training, and build an international professional network in sustainability science. They will accept 2-6 fellows per year to join the GSS community; provide advanced professional development training; and build professional connections that foster opportunities for employment and/or graduate school opportunities.
Fellows will work with sustainability organizations such as Belmont Forum research projects or Future Earth and will engage with participants of the GSS scholars. Each fellowship may provide different opportunities and experiences, however all Fellows will have a core curriculum and a GSS mentor.
