Dear Karen,

I write from Columbia University’s Earth Institute on behalf of the postdoctoral research program in sustainable development.  This two-year program is open to innovative postdoctoral scholars who are dedicated to a better understanding of critical scientific and social issues in global sustainable development.

Could you please share the announcement below with your doctoral students and networks?

If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to reach out to me directly.  If there is a colleague or program I should contact instead, I would appreciate the suggestion.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Samantha Ostrowski
