Selin Receives Hans Fischer Senior Fellowship
Henrik Selin, Associate Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently awarded a Hans Fischer Senior Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The fellowship is named after Hans Fischer who was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1930.
The Hans Fischer Senior Fellowship is a highly competitive and prestigious fellowship that is awarded to “outstanding international scientists” and runs for three years (2018-2021 for Selin). Selin will be spending the Fall 2018 semester at TUM.
TUM is a globally highly ranked university. Selin will be working mainly with Professor Miranda Schreurs and co-adivising a PhD student as part of the program.
“In addition to being a great personal honor to receive such a Fellowship, the Fellowship will allow me to further develop my research on mercury and other environmental issues (the project plan that I submitted as part of the successful application focused on my current mercury work),” Selin said. “The Fellowship and the time that I will spend in Munich dispersed over the next three years also creates valuable opportunities to build connections between TUM and the Pardee School.”
Henrik Selin conducts research and teaches classes on global and regional politics and policy making on environment and sustainable development. His most recent book is EU and Environmental Governance, by Routledge Press, and is also the author of Global Governance of Hazardous Chemicals: Challenges of Multilevel Management by MIT Press.
