The two-year fellowships of up to $10,000 per year will be awarded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and IIE. The fellowships are open to students currently enrolled in Ph.D. programs in sub-Saharan Africa. Students in economics, economic demography, geography, and epidemiology are especially encouraged to apply. These fellowships will support dissertation research on topics that examine how population dynamics and family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) influence economic development, including economic growth, poverty reduction, and equity. Dissertations that address population and development issues pertinent to the African continent are especially encouraged. The research must include a strong quantitative component, with an emphasis on rigorous data analysis. We encourage the development or use of new statistical methods. Finally, the research must have a strong policy-relevant component, demonstrating an interest in communicating research results with program managers, planners, and policymakers. The objective of The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation/IIE Dissertation Fellowship is to produce sound evidence on the role of population and reproductive health in economic development that could be incorporated into national and international economic planning and decision making. The 2010 round of competition is now open, with a deadline of receiving completed applications on or before March 5, 2010.

An initial £30 million of existing funds is being spent on new appointments, infrastructure and studentships in five research themes. Climate Change and Sustainable Futures is one of five groundbreaking interdisciplinary themes identified for investment. The theme underpins the growing strategic alliance with the Exeter-based Met Office. This partnership facilitates joint research between our two organisations to advance climate science. We will further benefit from a planned European investment of more than £40 million to develop the Environment and Sustainability Institute at our Cornwall Campus. Under the leadership of Professor Peter Cox, Climate Change and Sustainable Futures consists of a vibrant community of around 300 academics, research students and support staff who work in areas as diverse as physical sciences, environmental economics, health, policy and regulation and behavioural change. For further information on our work, please visit the Climate Change web pages. We now seek to award an interdisciplinary PhD studentship entitled "Modelling climate change impacts on coral reefs". The project will be supervised by Professor Peter Cox (School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences) and co-supervised by Professor Peter Mumby (School of Biosciences). The studentship will cover fees for three years plus an annual Research Council-equivalent maintenance grant for three years. In 2009/10 this was £13,290; the 2010/11 grant will be announced later in the year. How to Apply Entry requirements: A good first degree (at least an Upper Second Class Honours or equivalent) in a relevant subject.
