GRADUATE  PROGRAMS

The Future Climate Venture Fellowship Program is designed to provide tangible experiences for students interested in learning about start-ups, marketing, commercialization, venture development, and research around climate change. Fellows will be assigned to a mentor or startup company and will have the opportunity to learn about a wide range of subject matters directed at addressing climate change. Fellows will develop communication and marketing skills as well as have the opportunity to play a role in bringing technologies around climate change to market through supporting start-ups and early-stage companies. Fellows may also have the chance to help develop pitch decks with their respective company and will have the opportunity to attend internal and external educational and career development focused seminars. Fellows will be required to give an oral presentation at the conclusion of the program.

Are you a recent or soon-to-be PhD graduate? Would you like to spend up to six months making a difference by developing and teaching science curriculum abroad?

Science Corps offers fully paid internships to upcoming and recent PhD graduates (up to four years after graduation) to help build science capacity at one of our host locations – a town on the island of Bohol in the Philippines, a village up in the Indian Himalayas, in the beautiful port city of Tangier, Morocco, and in the bustling city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. We are also currently developing new site partnerships, and are open to a fellow working on site development.

Fellows travel to partner institutions to develop science curriculum, teach in classrooms, train teachers, and build community-based research projects. In addition to building science capacity at these host locations, we also aim to offer fellows a life-changing experience. Fellows are given the opportunity to spend time in beautiful locations, immerse themselves in different cultures, and learn from their host educators, all while making positive contributions to local communities.

We are presently interested in recruiting immediately for fellowships starting this year or early next year. The deadline for this application round is November 15th, but we still encourage you to contact us if you would like to be considered for a later appointment!
