> 2016 Dow Postdoctoral Fellowships in Sustainability –
> Request for Applications
> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> The Graham Sustainability Institute is now accepting applications for the 2016 cohort of the Dow Postdoctoral Fellows in Sustainability. Please forward this announcement to colleagues and/or prospective postdoctoral fellows.
> 
> These fellowships are designed to support a new generation of sustainability scholars who understand the necessity of collaborating across disciplines and sectors to address and solve complex sustainability challenges, with a strong focus on the interface of the social sciences/humanities and the natural/physical/ engineering sciences. We are particularly eager to receive more applications from candidates whose backgrounds are in the social sciences, humanities, or the arts so we can develop a balanced cohort that covers a truly broad range of disciplines that coalesce around issues of sustainability. Applications are being solicited from a national and international pool and are due on November 16, 2015. (Applicants must complete an “Intent to Apply” by November 2.)
> 
> Each Dow Postdoctoral Fellow has a two-year appointment in a U-M School/College, Department, or Center and a concurrent two-year appointment as a program fellow, with appointments following traditional academic cycles. The next cohort of postdoctoral fellows will begin their term in September, 2016. Information on the program and application requirements/process is available here: sustainability.umich.edu/education/dow/postdoctoral <http://umich.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b99b296b7a36cc34c49bf712&id=56a4136568&e=9632d073de>.
