The World Forest Institute (WFI) is seeking individuals working in forestry and natural resources to apply for our International Fellowship Program. WFI is a division of the World Forestry Center, which is a small, private non-profit educational organization based in Portland, Oregon U.S.A. The Forestry Center promotes education and information exchange regarding forests and forestry.

The Fellowship Program brings natural resources professionals from around the world to work at the World Forest Institute for 6 to 12 months. Over 50 Fellows from 17 countries have participated in the program. Fellows staff country desks at WFI, and work with colleagues from around the world. They work on a primary research project developed in cooperation with their sponsors, and also participate in-group activities that include site visits to forestry agencies, universities, companies and mills.

We seek individuals with initiative, interest in international forestry issues, and a good command of English. Please go to our website for a full description.
