The Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York, NY, seeks applications from innovative, doctoral candidates or recent Ph.D., M.D., J.D., or Sc.D. recipients (within 5 years of degree receipt) interested in a broad range of issues in sustainable development.
The Institute is especially interested in qualified candidates from historically underrepresented groups for its<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://www.earth.columbia.edu/articles/view/3368" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" class="">Diversity

The Earth Institute Postdoctoral Research program provides scholars with the opportunity to acquire and apply the cross-disciplinary expertise needed to address critical issues of sustainable development such as food security, energy systems, climate change
impacts, poverty reduction, disease, and environmental degradation. Candidates who have developed cross-disciplinary approaches during their graduate studies will find numerous, unique opportunities to engage in programs at the leading edge of sustainable
development research.</div>

<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
Candidates must complete the online application and submit a proposal for research that would contribute to global, sustainable development. Candidates may suggest contributing to or expanding on existing Earth Institute programs or developing new projects
that integrate the breadth of expertise of the Earth Institute. Candidates are strongly encouraged to identify and contact a mentor prior to submitting an application.</div>
