The David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellowship Programme

Science, research

The purpose of the David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellowship is to create opportunities for leading conservation biologists to strengthen their skills through two years of applied post-doctoral research, supplemented by training programmes, peer networking, and field learning experiences; so that they may: 1. Build productive partnerships with conservation practitioners; 2. Contribute and communicate scientific knowledge to problems of critical importance in conservation.

The David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellowship Program seeks to develop future world leaders and entrepreneurs who are successful at linking conservation science and application. Smith Fellowships provide two years of postdoctoral support to outstanding early-career scientists.
