The Resnick Sustainability Institute's Pioneer Postdoctoral Fellowship recruits outstanding recent PhD graduates to pursue research and training in exciting areas relevant to sustainability at Caltech. This fellowship will afford researchers access to cutting edge facilities, training, and broad expertise in the science and engineering needed to tackle pressing challenges in sustainability. We anticipate making up to 3 awards. We welcome applicants with exceptional backgrounds in research and are committed to diversity and creating an inclusive, equitable culture.

The fellowships will be awarded for up to 2 years in support of individuals pursuing projects aligned with the overall mission of the RSI, to address challenges and opportunities associated with climate change and the stewardship of natural resources.

The Fall 2024 application period is now open. Applications are due by 1 PM PST on Monday, January 13th, 2025. We will evaluate applications and plan to announce awards in early spring 2025. Start dates are flexible based on the schedule of the applicant and the advisor, but should be no later than fall 2025.
