The fellowships are tenable during Harvard's academic year beginning in September 2013. Fellowships are available for 10 months (September 2013-May 2014), 12 months (September 2013-August 2014), the fall 2013 semester or spring 2014 semester (mid-career fellows only), or for two academic years (post-doctoral fellows only) (September 2013-August 2015). Each year, the Sustainability Science Program recruits approximately 15-20 fellows to work with one another and with Harvard faculty. Candidates who are offered a fellowship will be paired with a Harvard faculty member who has related interests. Applicants may identify a potential faculty member(s) with whom they would like to do research in the on-line application, but applicants should not try to secure a commitment from a faculty member before applying. (Unfortunately many faculty are not able to talk with the very large number of candidates who express initial interest in the fellowship. After a fellowship is awarded, however, they will be available to discuss whether there is a match of research interests with particular applicants.) A list of Harvard faculty with interests related to sustainability science is provided on the web pages of the Sustainability Science Program Faculty Affiliates and the Center for the Environment. Any member of the teaching faculty from any discipline at Harvard can serve as a faculty sponsor, regardless of whether the faculty member has had a prior affiliation with the Sustainability Science Program. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 06991 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 1/15/2013 Sponsor: European Synchrotron Radiation Facility Title: Beamtime Contact: Tel: +33 (0)4 76.88 20.00 Email: useroff@esrf.fr Website:          http://www.esrf.eu/UsersAndScience/UserGuide/Applying/ Full Program:          http://www.esrf.eu/UsersAndScience/UserGuide Deadline Note: The 1 September 2012 deadline is for beam time from March 2013 to July 2013.

SYNOPSIS: The California Energy Commission is seeking to develop infrastructure necessary to dispense hydrogen transportation fuel. The Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology (ARFVT) Program of the Energy Commission developed this solicitation. The Energy Commission aims to prioritize its investment by funding hydrogen fueling stations in the Station Location Areas. The goal of this solicitation is to provide grant funds to projects which expand the network of publicly accessible hydrogen fueling stations to serve the current population of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and to accommodate the planned large-scale roll-out of FCVs commencing in 2015. This network will support alternative transportation fuel and vehicle technology goals of the State of California. The Energy Commission hopes this solicitation will create an initial foundation of a statewide infrastructure network that will encourage greater FCV adoption among consumers and facilitate other hydrogen fuel providers to enter this emerging market.
