The Southeast Energy Development (SEED) Fellowship is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program under the IBSS project. The SEED Fellows will work in a multidisciplinary team for 10 weeks during summer (May 25-July 31) and will be assigned real-world problems that could include either research or field deployment challenges in feedstock production, feedstock logistics, conversion, or markets and distribution of biofuels.
Participants will have an opportunity to work and visit national energy laboratories, biomass production and harvesting sites and liquid fuels production plants during the program. SEED fellows will also present their work at the ASABE national meeting which will be held in New Orleans. There will be a stipend of $5,000 available plus housing, meal and travel allowances.
