Program Highlights
- Students leave Wildlands programs with a broad, global view. Living and studying in another country or region provides an eye opening and life changing perspective on culture. Being a part of a tight knit community and project team is a learning opportunity as well.
- Students learn skills for collaboration, sharing and giving—each of which is a valuable life skill that transcends career choices and contributes to greater confidence and maturity.
- Wildlands teams are small in size, typically with just 9–16 students
- Wildlands programs are designed to take you to the ends of the earth, on a budget. In some cases, your financial aid may apply—check with your school to find out.
Program Highlights
- The Society for Conservation Biology is pleased to solicit applications for the David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellowship Program.
- These two year postdoctoral fellowships provide support for outstanding early-career scientists who want to better link conservation science and theory with policy and management, improving and expanding their research skills while directing their efforts towards conservation problems of pressing concern for the United States.
- Each Fellow proposes a team of at least two mentors: 1. an academic mentor who encourages the Fellow’s continued development as a conservation scientist and 2. a conservation practitioner who connects the Fellow and their research to practical applications.
- Fellowship awards include an annual salary of $60,500, benefits, and generous travel and research budgets, as well as a lifetime membership to the Society for Conservation Biology.
