Project Drawdown is launching the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship, a prestigious opportunity for PhD-level scientists and engineers dedicated to advancing climate solutions. This fellowship supports world-class researchers in conducting applied research, public outreach, and stakeholder engagement, all while collaborating with Project Drawdown’s expert team. Fellows will contribute to impactful, solutions-oriented research, helping to translate scientific findings into real-world climate action.

The program is open to early- and mid-career scientists and engineers with a strong background in climate science, environmental science, or engineering fields. Applicants should have a Ph.D., postdoctoral experience, and a proven track record of high-impact publications and public engagement. The fellowship is fully remote, allowing candidates to work from anywhere in the United States, and offers a competitive annual salary ($130,000-$160,000 depending on experience), comprehensive benefits, and a $10,000 annual research stipend for travel, supplies, and publication costs.

Fellows will engage in rigorous research, inform decision-making, and serve as public-facing experts on climate solutions. Responsibilities include producing original research, engaging stakeholders, contributing to Project Drawdown’s initiatives, and sharing findings through various public channels. The fellowship is designed for those who excel in collaborative, virtual environments and are committed to making a tangible impact on climate change.

Applicants must submit a Phase 1 application by April 17, 2026, including a cover letter, CV, responses to specific questions, and examples of both scientific and public-facing work. The selection process includes a second phase with interviews and proposal submissions for finalists. Project Drawdown values diversity and encourages applications from all qualified individuals authorized to work in the United States.
