I am pleased to announce that we are now accepting departmental, institute and school nominations for the TIM AND ANN O’RIORDAN FELLOWSHIP IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. 

This fellowship, endowed in memory of his wife by Tim O’Riordan, OBE, DL, FBA, Emeritus Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, will be awarded to an incoming doctoral student working on sustainable development in a broad interdisciplinary perspective, ideally with some reference to British Columbia.

The fellowship currently has a value of $24,000 p.a. and may be held for a maximum of four consecutive years, subject to satisfactory academic progress (as notified by the holder’s program to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). The award is made by G+PS on a recommendation from Green College and, with the approval of the sponsoring department and of G+PS, may be held in conjunction with other awards.

The holder will have the status of Non-Resident Member of Green College, unless they happen to be or become a Resident Member of the College. (Resident membership of the College is NOT a prerequisite.)

It is a condition of the fellowship that the holder make a public presentation of their research at the College in the final year of the award, for which additional resources may be available from the College.

Procedure and deadline:

Any UBC units admitting doctoral students to begin work in this field in 2023 is invited to forward UP TO 3 complete application files (edited as needed, but including research proposal, full academic transcripts and letters of reference) to Heather Muckart, Assistant Principal (Programs), Green College, heather.muckart@ubc.ca by 4 pm on 28 February 2023. It is currently expected that a final decision will be made by mid-March.

And do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Heather
