Generous IIED-NEF Fellowship: Greening Economics - New perspectives on the economics of environment and development
18 February 2008
The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and New Economics Foundation (nef) are launching a Fellowship Programme to bring new thinking to the challenges of applying economics to environment and development. The inaugural IIED-nef Fellowship prize will be awarded to an outstanding researcher through a competitive process.
The Fellowship will be full-time, for a duration of four months and the successful candidate will divide their time between IIED and nef. During this tenure, the Fellow will be expected to draw on and distil cutting edge theory and practice in their chosen area, facilitate a process of cross-fertilisation and learning between the two institutions, and formulate concrete proposals on directions for future research to make genuine progress in this vitally important area.
The Fellowship will culminate in a joint IIED-nef event, where key stakeholders will be invited to share in the results of this work, and contribute perspectives on the way ahead.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone to make a real contribution to both theory and practice: to both help frame the debate and chart the way forward, and to play a part in moving us from an unsustainable to a more sustainable economic system.
Submission of application deadline 1st March.
