The University of Sydney in Australia is offering a total of $100 million in what it says is an "unprecedented investment" to support up to 40 new positions in the field of climate change, health, and sustainability research, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports.
"We know if we want to grow innovation we must support our researchers to tackle the greatest challenges for the common good," University of Sydney Vice-Chancellor and President Mark Scott says in a statement.
"As knowledge and innovation grow, our early and mid-career researchers are the generation we need to unlock the solutions to climate change, health, and sustainability challenges."
The Sydney Horizon Fellowships, which the university says is the first of its kind in Australia and among the most generous in the world, will offer a five-year fellowship, a competitive salary, training and mentoring, and research funding, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports.
According to a press release, the fellowships will focus on climate change, health, and sustainability, while other areas include the development of new technologies to mitigate climate change, drug discovery, and the role of technology in promoting health, and policies and strategies to promote sustainability in agriculture, architecture, energy, finance, waste management, water, and transportation.
