Post-Doctoral Fellowships. The Harvard University Center for the
Environment will award six two-year post-doctoral research fellowships to
start September 2008 to outstanding scholars in any field related to the
environment, including economics. Each Environmental Fellow will work
with a host faculty member in the host’s department and participate in an
interdisciplinary program at the Center. The fellowship will provide a
generous salary and benefits. Further information is available at:
www.environment.harvard.edu.

Invitation from the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements.
This project, just launched, is a two-year effort to help identify key
design elements of a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, drawing upon the
ideas of leading thinkers from academia, private industry, government, and
NGOs. We aim to help develop a plan that is "scientifically sound,
economically rational, and politically pragmatic" -- as well as palatable
to both developed and developing countries. (See more on our website at
http://www.belfercenter.org/climate). You are invited to become involved
in the project. At a minimum, you can sign up to receive occasional
updates from the project, including policy ideas we are considering.
(Click on the following link, and check the box marked "Harvard Project on
International Climate Agreements":
http://www.belfercenter.org/subscribe.html). If you are interested, you
can also receive updates on various topics of interest, such as the
environment and climate change, from Harvard's Belfer Center for Science
and International Affairs, part of the Kennedy School of Government, and
co-sponsor of the project with the Harvard Environmental Economics
Program. As part of the project, we are commissioning research papers in
three categories: (1) proposal of new climate policy architecture; (2)
comparative analysis of climate policy architectures; and (3) assessment
of specific policy elements. If you wish to learn more about the
possibility of writing a paper for the project, please send an e-mail to
