David Suzuki Foundation – Fellowships

Standard

My name is Milena and I am contacting you on behalf of the David Suzuki Foundation.  

I was hoping to speak with you regarding the foundations newly launched Fellowship Program. At the present time, we are seeking applicants to be considered for one of three fellowships that we have available across the country, (Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal). More specifically, we are seeking graduate students who’s research is focused on climate change and climate change related issues. Our Toronto fellowship is exclusively for Indigenous Students and focuses on Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Change, while our Vancouver and Montreal programs are available to all students. I was hoping to speak with you more about the program, and inquire if there are any students in your faculty that you think might be a good fit for the program. 

 Below is a short description of the program, including relevant links that have more information. In addition, should you have any further inquiries, please feel free to contact me, or my colleague Harpreet Johal, (Senior Specialist, Fellowships), at: hjohal@davidsuzuki.org, 6047324228 ext. 1283. Please feel free to forward the information along to any candidates that you think might be interested.

 Sincerely, 
Milena Markovic

PS: Although the deadline is fast approaching, (February 1st), there is flexibility if needed providing that students speak with Senior Specialist, Harpreet Johal in advance. 

Are you a scholar interested in helping Canada transition to a low-carbon future?

If so, here’s an exciting new opportunity: David Suzuki Fellowships!

  • Researching clean energy solutions and/or the economics of sustainable development (Vancouver)
  • Integrating traditional Indigenous knowledge into climate solutions (Toronto)

David Suzuki Fellows will spend a year with one foot in academia and the other in learning strategies to get their research the attention it deserves.
