PostDoc: Andrew W. Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Sustainable Urban
Food Systems

Eugene Lang College, the New School for Liberal Arts seeks a Post-Doctoral Fellow in sustainable urban food systems for the 2010-2011 academic year to assist in research, curriculum development, and public programming coordination
within the University's new Environmental Studies Program. Under the supervision of one or more environmental studies faculty members, the fellows will develop and teach a survey course and one course based on their area(s) of expertise and dissertation topic.
 
The Andrew W. Mellon Post-doctoral Fellow in sustainable urban food systems will work with faculty in environmental studies, food studies, and external colleagues to design and implement a research project in sustainable urban food systems that matches his/her interests and expertise. Three potential areas of interest include:
 
(1) Food Systems Planning and Policy Research--studying emerging approaches to food systems planning that promote "civic agriculture," locally organized systems of food production within cities and peri-urban communities that are characterized by networks of producers and citizens bound together by place;
 
(2) Urban Food Access--developing innovative methodologies to assess access to food in cities, looking at land use, transportation, business, and design variables that influence the availability of healthy food at the neighborhood level and exploring purchasing behaviors to better understand limited access to healthy food; and
 
(3) Urban Agriculture and Community Development--measuring the community development impacts of urban agriculture projects, particularly urban farms that link food production and environmental education.
 
Please note that this is a grant-funded position with a projected start date of 9-1-2010 and an end date of 6-30-2011.  Minimum Qualifications: Successful candidates for the Fellowship in Sustainable Urban Food Systems will have a Ph.D. in urban planning, policy, environmental studies, or related discipline.
 
To apply, see The New School Employment Site

Yale World Fellows Program- Nominations for 2010

As you know, each year Yale seeks extraordinary candidates for the World Fellows Program, our signature global leadership development initiative. We look for rising leaders in virtually any field who have the dynamism and energy to spend an intensive four months at Yale learning, discussing, and sharing their expertise with Faculty, students, and the broader community.
We would be grateful if you could take a moment to think of a few superb candidates actively working in the sectors or countries you know well. They must be truly exceptional mid-career practitioners (in any field except academia), speak fluent English, and must hold non-US citizenship. Who are the most remarkable, mid-career individuals you know of in business, politics, government, the media, public health, or other field? Who is making a real impact on his or her industry, community, or country? Who has the necessary enthusiasm and charisma to take full advantage of and attract attention at Yale? These are some of the qualities we try to evaluate, and I would encourage you to ask the same questions of any candidates you may think of nominating.
You may nominate candidates online at https://apply.yale.edu/worldfellows/Nominate. The nomination deadline is December 15, 2009 for the fall 2010 program. To discuss the Program or any specific candidates in more detail, please feel free to email me or call me at 203-432-1916.
