Call for Applications: SEI鈥檚 2022 Honours Research Fellowship

17 November 2021
The Sydney Environment Institute invites applications for our 2022 Honours Research Fellowship Program from University of Sydney students interested in engaging with multidisciplinary thinking around critical environmental issues.

The Sydney Environment Institute is pleased to announce the call for applications for our 2022 Honours Research Fellowship program.

Applications are invited from students in any discipline across the University of Sydney, and particularly encouraged from those in creative disciplines including Art History, Film and Media studies, Museum studies, and the School of Architecture, Design and Planning, conducting research in the areas of water, adaptation, resilience, justice, or the Pacific.

The aim of the SEI Honours Research Fellowship is to provide a supportive environment for young researchers while exposing candidates to multi-disciplinary approaches to addressing critical environmental issues. The Fellowship program gives candidates unique access to the SEI鈥檚 global network of leading environmental scholars, as well as:

  • mentoring from a senior academic outside but complementary to the candidate鈥檚 discipline to promote multi-disciplinary thinking
  • a bursary of $2,000 towards research costs
  • the opportunity to collaborate on multi-disciplinary projects with researchers across the University
  • the opportunity to contribute toward multi-authored articles
  • a hot desk in the SEI office in the Quadrangle (for the duration of the Fellowship)
鈥淭he year I spent with the SEI interacting with leading thinkers on climate change challenged my views, expanded my knowledge and embedded in me the value of returning to the research for guidance and advice.鈥
