Post-Doctoral Fellowship Announcement
2009-2010 Fletcher-Lauder Fellowship
Carbon Biosequestration Strategies
The Fletcher School at Tufts University (Center for International
Environment and Resource Policy) and the Lauder School of Government,
Diplomacy and Strategy at The Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya (IDC,
Israel) are accepting applications for the Fletcher-Lauder Fellowship for
2009-2010 to support a post-doctoral fellow, to conduct independent
research on Carbon Biosequestration Strategies.
The analysis of the Fletcher-Lauder Fellow will be based on data from a
National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and Arizona Public Service
(APS) pilot project demonstrating bio-sequestration of carbon dioxide from
carbon-rich sources, e.g., power plants, through algae production.
Specifically, the Fellow will analyze the national and international
potential of carbon bio-sequestration via algae, compare it with other
alternatives for industrial and power plant CO2 mitigation, and explore
costs and policy options to support the implementation of carbon
biosequestration on a large scale. Additional research will focus on the
benefits of algae in other fields, including but not limited to biofuels
and feed production. The analysis may utilize systems dynamics modeling,
econometric analysis and other methodologies that will improve
understanding of the economic and policy implications scalability, and the
rate at which capture systems may be introduced to prevent carbon dioxide
from entering the atmosphere from a variety of industrial and power
sources.
Application process: Students should submit, by e-mail, an application
that contains:
1) A letter outlining their relevant research in the engineering,
technical or biology fields. The application should address the
following:
a) Details of previous research
b) How this research is relevant to the NETL-APS project
c) Experience with national and international energy policy
2) A curriculum vita
3) Two letters of reference
Selection process: A committee of Fletcher School and Lauder School
faculty will select the 2009-2010 Fellow. The faculty will assess the
quality of the applicant's previous research and the intellectual rigor
and policy relevance of the student's previous work.
Application deadline: June 1, 2009
Award will be announced on June 15, 2009
Award date: July 1, 2009 (exact start date can be negotiated)
Please address applications to: Mieke van der Wansem, Associate Director,
