As a graduate fellow with the Hanley Sustainability Institute, you can help advance interdisciplinary research across the University, catalyze a more sustainable campus and engage communities in the region and beyond in collective efforts for a just and sustainable future.
In the fall of each year, faculty submit proposals for projects that would benefit from graduate student research assistance. The institute prioritizes projects that advance our wider mission, for instance by partnering with conservation organizations and other community partners, or by collaborating with staff on campus to support more sustainable operations at the university.
In the spring of each year, students apply to work on the selected research projects and support HSI’s wider sustainability programming. Fellows receive a competitive stipend, tuition, travel support and additional benefits.
Fellowships are awarded on a one-year basis but can be renewed for one additional year provided that the student is succeeding across their various responsibilities.
