Call for Applicants: iN-Net 2027 Policy Fellowship
The International Nitrogen Network (iN-Net) is accepting applications for the 2027 iN-Net Policy Fellowship, beginning in January 2027. iN-Net is an NSF-funded initiative (Award #2412593) supporting policy-relevant research and collaboration to help countries halve nitrogen waste by 2030.
Past Policy Fellows have completed placements with iN-Net partner networks including:
UNEP Nitrogen Working Group (NWG)

Fellows will contribute to ongoing policy priorities while developing a defined project and high-impact outputs, such as a policy brief, white paper, report, or potentially a publishable paper.
Benefits: $1,000 honorarium at the start of the term, mentorship from the host network and iN-Net, and support to attend the annual iN-Net workshop.
