YCEJ - Community Engaged Research Fellow (New Haven PERL)

Do you feel passionately about strengthening local community-engaged research while creating tools for the New Haven community to access research about them? YCEJ just launched the New Haven People and the Environment Research Library (New Haven PERL) a special collaboration between YCEJ, Hixon Center for Urban Ecology, the Environmental Humanities and the Yale Center on Climate Change and Health funded by a Planetary Solutions seed grant and the Rosenkranz Award for Pedagogical Advancement. This partnership has grown to include units across Yale, partners from surrounding institutions, and New Haven-based organizations. 

The goal of the digital repository project is to make research available to New Haven residents, and research communities in New Haven including Yale, surrounding institutions and community organizations. The aim is for researchers and students to build on existing research and avoid duplicating efforts, for community members to easily access the research findings, and ultimately, to develop a bi-directional community of practice to deepen community-engaged research at Yale and beyond. 

All currently enrolled graduate and undergraduate students at Yale are eligible to apply.
