Post-Doctoral Fellowships
The mission of the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterise is to be a premier source
for the creation and dissemination of knowledge focused on ecologically, economically and
socially sustainable development and enterprise. As part of this mission we regularly have
post-doctoral fellows in residence with the Erb Institute.
Erb Institute Fellowships
From September 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, we will be accepting applications from qualified candidates who are at the beginning of their academic careers, having received the Ph.D. or comparable degree between June 1, 2007, and August 30, 2009. Fellows appointed as Post-Doctoral Scholars in the Erb Institute are expected to be in residence during the academic years of the fellowship, to participate in the intellectual life of the Institute, and to devote time to their independent research. If desired, teaching may be included in the agreement. The annual stipend will be $60,000 based on an academic calendar year, September 1 - August 31. You will be eligible for participation in the University health and life insurance options. Appointments are intended to extend for two years, though the Institute will also consider applications for one-year appointments.
Applications must be received by December 31, 2008. See the following PDF for complete info. Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program (PDF)
