EERI/FEMA EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS REDUCTION PROFESSIONAL FELLOWSHIP
Under a cooperative agreement established with FEMA, EERI is pleased to offer a Professional Fellowship to provide an opportunity for a practicing professional to gain greater skills and broader expertise in earthquake hazards reduction, either by enhancing knowledge in the applicant's own field, or by broadening his or her knowledge in a related, but unfamiliar field.
WHO SHOULD APPLY
This unique fellowship is aimed at the career professional and is designed to bring together an experienced practitionner with professionals conducting significant research, providing an opportunity to enrich the applicant's knowledge and skills and broaden the research base with challenges faced in practice.
