Gund Institute for Environment
The Gund Institute occasionally funds exceptional postdoctoral scholars who conduct research on major global environmental challenges. Our scholars connect interdisciplinary research to real-world issues in environment and sustainability.

The Gund Institute is committed to building an inclusive environment where diverse voices and perspectives are active and welcome. We encourage applicants who bring diverse perspectives to our community.

Gund postdocs pursue rigorous, original research that spans traditional disciplines and advances the institute's mission of tackling interconnected environmental challenges. Most Gund-funded postdocs are two-year positions, have an annual salary based on experience, plus benefits, and a discretionary fund for research costs and travel. Postdocs also benefit from professional development opportunities, including communications and policy training. Opportunities will be posted on this webpage.

About the University of Vermont

Body

Since 1791, the University of Vermont has worked to move humankind forward. Today, UVM is a Public Ivy and top 100 research university of a perfect size, large enough to offer a breadth of ideas, resources, and opportunities, yet small enough to enable close faculty-student mentorship across all levels of study, from bachelor’s to M.D. programs. Here, students’ educational experience and activities are enriched by our location — from the energy and innovation of Burlington to the forests, farms, and independent spirit of Vermont. UVM provides students endless ways to explore the world, challenge ideas, and dig in on the most pressing issues of our time.
