CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Post-doctoral Cyprus Institute Fellows at MIT
The Cyprus Institute (CyI) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Energy Initiative (MITEI) invite applications for postdoctoral fellowships in the Cyprus Program for Energy Environment and Water Resources (CEEW).
The Cyprus Institute is a novel non-profit research and educational institution in Cyprus that strives to achieve the highest standards of excellence with emphasis on international partnerships with leading universities and research organizations. The CEEW program at MITEI is a new research and education program in energy, environment, and water resources established at MIT through its partnership with the Cyprus Institute.
To strengthen its human resources in research and education the CEEW program at MITEI offers a number of Post-doctoral Cyprus Institute Fellowships for outstanding young researchers with interests in the fields of energy science and technology, water resources and environmental/climate research. The fellowship program is administered by the MITEI-CEEW program and encompasses both technical and policy research, concentrating on issues of relevance to Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean region. Cyprus Institute Fellows will be expected to spend the first 18 to 24 months of the Fellowship Period at MIT and the following two years, with the schedule depending on the nature of the Fellow's research, at the CyI's Energy, Environment, and Water Research Center (EEWRC) in Cyprus or in collaboration with the EEWRC elsewhere in the region.
Eligibility: The Fellowship is intended for researchers from various disciplines, such as physical sciences, engineering, economics, social sciences and policy, who want to conduct research in the areas of energy, environment, or water resources, and who have an interest in careers in Cyprus.
Interested applicants should apply to CEEW by submitting to the contact listed below:
- a CV including a list of publications,
- a statement of interest describing possible research to be carried out, related to the focus areas of energy, environment and water
- details of three professional referees who can provide letters of recommendation.
If approved, the initial fellowship award will be for a duration of three to four years, and may be renewed based upon progress. The salary will be commensurate with the experience of the successful candidates. At this stage, applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
