    SUBJECT: Norma and Jerol Sonosky Environmental Sustainability Fellowship

    Dear USC Community;

    The USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies is pleased to announce the 2020
    Norma and Jerol Sonosky Summer Fellowship with funding to support Ph.D. research in
    environmental sustainability. Proposals are invited from Ph.D. students in any discipline
    registered in full-time studies within a USC Dornsife department or program.

    Topics may include but are not exclusive to: studies of human dynamics in and
    direct/indirect impacts upon natural systems, sustainable use of environmental
    resources, and alternative energy or renewables research. Promoting such themes is
    central to the mission of the USC Wrigley Institute, which strives to advance frontier
    research and education to address the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

    FELLOWSHIP GUIDELINES:

    Funding: Fellows will receive $6,000.00 in summer stipend. Recipients may not receive
    other departmental summer support concurrent with this award.

    Activities: The purpose of the Fellowship is to enhance graduate student research


    towards attaining a Ph.D. degree in environmental and sustainability themes. Students
    will spend the summer conducting independent research related to their graduate
    degree, under supervision of each student’s faculty advisor.

    Fellows will be expected to contribute minor time to the Wrigley Institute’s summer
    education, public outreach, or professional development activities as appropriate.
    Example activities include presentation of their research to school groups or visitors, or
    serving on grad student Q&A panels. Each Fellow will also be required to contribute one
    entry to the online Wrigley Institute Research Blog.

    Close-Out: Upon completion of the fellowship, each Fellow will be required to submit a
    two (2) page summary report on their summer research activities and accomplishments.
    Fellows will also present a 10-minute research talk at the Wrigley Institute Graduate
    Research Symposium, to be held in Fall 2020.
