About The World Forest Institute International Fellowship

The World Forest Institute (WFI) International Fellowship Program hosts natural resource professionals from around the world at our campus in Portland, Oregon for 6 months. Applicants propose a research topic to focus on during their Fellowship, and WFI uses its extensive network of public and private forestry and natural resource professionals to assist Fellows in gaining the knowledge and exposure they seek. (Look at past and current Fellows’ projects to get an idea of the variety of research topics)

Oregon is an ideal learning ground for the program because of its rich natural resources, innovative history in forest management, important timber sector, and academic centers of excellence in both forestry and urban forestry, as well as green building and sustainability. Fellows leave the program with a solid understanding of how the US forestry sector operates and who the key players are. Additionally, Fellows gain valuable cultural experience. Over 148 Fellows from more than 47 countries have participated in the program over the past two decades (check out our alumni).

As you explore our webpages and learn more about the WFI program, one basic program component to keep in mind is that this is NOT a post-doc or other university-related type program. The research you’ll do here is more about networking, making connections with other professionals, and expanding upon the knowledge you already have and work you have already done. This is a true professional development opportunity. Download our Program Basics document for more details.
