International Fellowships Available at the World Forest Institute
Portland, Oregon, USA
The World Forest Institute Fellowship Program brings forestry and natural
resources professionals from around the world to work at the World Forest
Institute for 6 to 12 months. Fellows conduct an independent research
project developed in conjunction with his/her sponsor. Projects are
typically either policy or marketing studies, and may be environmental,
social or economic in focus. Activities involve information gathering
through interviews, meeting with forestry organizations, and taking
organized field trips. Fellows typically summarize their projects in a
report and poster published by the WFI. A large component of the program
involves traveling and visiting with professionals in the Pacific Northwest
forest sector. Fellows visit forestlands, research sites, manufacturing
facilities, and NGOs. Additionally, Fellows gain valuable cultural
experience and English language skills. Project proposals are now being
accepted, and a matching grant is available to cover up to half of the
Fellowship fee. WFI is located in beautiful Portland, Oregon, a short drive
to forests, mountains, beach, and desert. Oregon is the largest producer of
forest products among the 50 US states. For more information visit
