What Is the Constellations Fellowship?

The Constellations Fellowship is a professional virtual internship programme operated by Climate Curve. It connects students and recent graduates with career opportunities in Climate Curve’s global network of climate organisations, including organisations associated with the Keeling Curve Prize.

According to the official Constellations Fellowship page, the programme is designed to foster the next generation of climate leaders by giving early-career participants practical, entry-level experience.

Rather than following a single academic curriculum, fellows work directly with host organisations on defined professional assignments. Depending on the selected position, a fellow may contribute to research, data analysis, communications, engineering, programme management, environmental justice, finance, marketing, partnerships or operational work.

The experience is intended to help participants develop:

• Practical workplace experience;
• Career-building skills;
• Professional confidence;
• Remote collaboration skills;
• Knowledge of climate organisations and climate solutions;
• Experience completing real assignments;
• Exposure to multidisciplinary climate work; and
• A stronger understanding of how climate organisations operate.

About Climate Curve

Climate Curve is a United States-based nonprofit organisation formerly known as the Global Warming Mitigation Project. Its mission is to contribute to global decarbonisation by identifying climate leaders and deploying resources to advance effective solutions.

The organisation works to accelerate projects and programmes that reduce, remove or replace greenhouse-gas emissions. Its broader approach includes providing capital, professional talent and visibility to climate initiatives.

Climate Curve recognises that climate innovation is increasing, but the funding and workforce talent needed to scale effective solutions remain inadequate. It therefore connects entrepreneurs, organisations, funders, researchers, professionals and emerging climate leaders through different programmes.

The Constellations Fellowship addresses the workforce component of this challenge by connecting emerging professionals with climate organisations that need additional skills and capacity. More information about the organisation’s mission and approach is available on the Climate Curve About page.

Fellowship Duration and Working Arrangement

The Fall 2026 fellowships are entirely virtual and part-time.

All placements are expected to begin on Monday, September 21, 2026, and continue for approximately 12 to 14 weeks. The precise schedule and weekly workload may differ by host organisation and position.

Candidates should carefully review the individual description of their selected role because some host organisations specify particular weekly time commitments, technical expectations, meeting requirements or time-zone preferences.

The general programme information does not establish one standard number of weekly working hours for every position. Applicants should therefore confirm that they can meet the requirements of the particular role before applying.

Because the fellowships are fully remote, successful candidates will normally need:

• Reliable internet access;
• A suitable computer;
• Availability for online meetings;
• The ability to work independently;
• Effective written and verbal communication;
• Time-management skills; and
• The ability to collaborate across locations and time zones.

These are practical expectations for remote participation. Candidates must still consult the official position page for the actual desired qualifications of each placement.

Constellations Fellowship Stipend

Fellows will receive a $1,000 stipend upon completion of the fellowship.

Applicants should understand the payment arrangement correctly:

• The amount is a total fellowship stipend, not a monthly payment;
• It is not described as an hourly wage;
• It is not stated to be paid at the beginning of the programme;
• Payment is linked to completion of the fellowship; and
• The application form does not explain payment methods, tax treatment or the precise completion requirements.

Candidates requiring clarification regarding stipend payment should contact the programme manager before accepting a placement.

Benefits of the Constellations Fellowship

1. Fully remote participation

Candidates can participate from their home countries without relocating to the host organisation’s office.

2. Practical climate-sector experience

Fellows work with organisations addressing real climate, environmental and sustainability challenges rather than completing only theoretical coursework.

3. Entry-level career exposure

The programme is designed for students and recent graduates who may not yet have extensive professional experience.

4. Diverse professional pathways

Applicants are not limited to environmental science positions. The Fall 2026 opportunities include finance, accounting, marketing, communications, design, engineering, data science, monitoring and evaluation, research, partnerships, sales, operations and software development.

5. International organisational exposure

Participants can gain experience working with organisations operating across different regions and climate sectors.

6. Career-building skills

The programme aims to help fellows develop practical workplace, project-management, communication, research, technical and professional skills.

7. Completion stipend

Each fellow is expected to receive a $1,000 stipend after completing the programme.

8. Opportunity to contribute to climate solutions

Depending on the selected placement, fellows may support work related to renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, waste management, the circular economy, climate justice, carbon reduction, low-emission transport, water security or climate education.

Who Can Apply?

The general eligibility requirement is straightforward: positions are open to students and recent graduates.

The official programme page also clarifies that students do not need to attend one of Climate Curve’s university partners. Partner universities help promote the fellowship, but any otherwise qualified student may apply.

The general call does not specify:

• A minimum or maximum age;
• A mandatory degree level;
• A required academic discipline;
• A minimum grade-point average;
• A fixed number of years since graduation;
• A nationality restriction beyond sanctions compliance;
• A race or ethnicity requirement; or
• A requirement to study at a partner university.

However, every position has its own description and desired qualifications. A candidate must therefore satisfy both the programme-wide requirement and the requirements of the selected role.

For example, technical positions may seek programming, data, engineering, GIS or design skills, while communications and business positions may prioritise writing, research, marketing, finance, stakeholder engagement or analytical abilities.

International Eligibility

Students and recent graduates can apply from around the world. The form does not impose a continent-based restriction.

Candidates may potentially apply from:

• Africa;
• Asia;
• Europe;
• North America;
• South America;
• Australia and Oceania; and
• Other eligible locations worldwide.

The application form states that candidates in countries under international sanctions are restricted. However, it does not identify the relevant sanctions framework or provide a definitive list of affected countries.

Candidates located in a potentially affected jurisdiction should contact the programme manager before applying instead of assuming that they are eligible or ineligible.

How to Apply

Step 1: Review all relevant positions

Visit the official position directory and carefully read the responsibilities, desired qualifications and expected time commitment for each role.

Do not select a position based only on its title. Different host organisations may expect different technical knowledge, availability, regional familiarity or professional skills.

Step 2: Select the position

The application form requires applicants to choose one position from the published list.

Candidates should select the role that best matches their:

• Academic background;
• Technical skills;
• Professional interests;
• Previous experience;
• Career objectives;
• Climate interests; and
• Weekly availability.

Step 3: Prepare a one-page résumé

Applicants must upload a completed résumé in PDF format.

The résumé:

• Must not exceed one page;
• Should be tailored to the selected position;
• Should highlight relevant education, experience and skills;
• Must be uploaded in the résumé field;
• Must not be replaced by a transcript; and
• Must not be replaced by a recommendation letter.

A longer résumé may breach the application instructions, even if the candidate has substantial experience.

Step 4: Prepare a position-specific cover letter

A completed cover letter is mandatory and must be uploaded as a PDF.

The cover letter should:

• Be written specifically for the selected position;
• Be addressed to the name of the host organisation;
• Use the applicant’s own voice;
• Explain the candidate’s relevant motivation and experience;
• Demonstrate understanding of the host organisation and role; and
• Be uploaded in the designated cover-letter field.

Applicants do not need to include the host organisation’s mailing address.

Step 5: Follow the programme’s artificial-intelligence rule

The application form expressly states that applicants must submit a cover letter written in their own voice.

The use of artificial-intelligence tools to generate or substantially refine the cover letter is prohibited and may result in disqualification.

Candidates should therefore write and edit their application materials themselves. They should not use AI to draft, rewrite or significantly polish their cover letters.

Step 6: Enter contact information

The form requires the applicant’s:

• First name;
• Last name; and
• Email address.

Candidates should use an active email account that they regularly monitor.

Step 7: Submit a complete application

Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

The form warns that incomplete or low-quality materials will not be considered. Uploading the same résumé in both document fields will also make the application invalid.

Before submission, verify that:

• The correct position has been selected;
• The résumé is complete and no longer than one page;
• The résumé is in PDF format;
• The cover letter is complete and in PDF format;
• The cover letter is addressed to the host organisation;
• The documents are tailored to the selected position;
• The correct documents have been uploaded in the correct fields; and
• The application has been submitted before the deadline.

Applying for More Than One Position

Candidates may apply for multiple positions, but they cannot use one application to select several roles.

A separate application must be completed for every position. Each submission must include the appropriate résumé and cover letter for that particular host organisation and role.

For example, a candidate applying for both the Solar Sister Monitoring and Evaluation Fellowship and the ElectricFish Accounting and Finance Operations Fellowship must submit two complete applications.

Reusing generic application materials without tailoring them to the separate positions may be treated as a low-quality application.

Documents That Will Not Be Accepted as Substitutes

The following documents cannot replace the required cover letter:

• Academic transcripts;
• Recommendation letters;
• A second copy of the résumé; or
• An incomplete statement.

Applicants should not upload a transcript, résumé or recommendation letter in the cover-letter field.

Application Deadline

Applications close on:

Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Candidates should submit early because:

• Incomplete applications are rejected;
• Separate applications are required for multiple positions;
• Both documents must be converted to PDF;
• Technical problems can occur during uploading;
• The published time-zone label may differ from an applicant’s local time; and
• Late submissions may not be accepted.

Important Information Not Specified in the General Form

The general application does not state:

• The number of fellows who will ultimately be selected;
• Whether every listed position will accept only one fellow;
• A single weekly-hour requirement applicable to all positions;
• The method or timing of stipend payment beyond payment upon completion;
• The tax treatment of the stipend;
• Whether a completion certificate will be issued;
• Whether fellows receive future employment consideration;
• The exact definition of a recent graduate;
• A universal academic-discipline requirement; or
• A definitive list of countries affected by the sanctions restriction.

Candidates requiring answers to these questions should contact the programme directly rather than make assumptions.

Practical Application Tips

Match the position carefully

Apply where your background genuinely meets the role’s responsibilities and desired qualifications. A precise application is stronger than applying indiscriminately to many positions.

Keep the résumé disciplined

The one-page limit is mandatory. Prioritise the education, skills, projects and experience most relevant to the selected position.

Research the host organisation

Your cover letter should demonstrate that you understand the host organisation’s work and the contribution expected from the fellow.

Use your authentic voice

The programme specifically prohibits AI-generated or substantially AI-edited cover letters. Write naturally and explain your motivation through your own experiences.

Check availability before applying

Confirm that you can begin on September 21, 2026, remain available for 12 to 14 weeks and meet the weekly commitment specified by the host organisation.

Create a new application for every role

Do not assume that selecting multiple positions or submitting a generic application will be accepted. Each position requires a complete, separate submission.

Review every upload

Make sure the résumé is in the résumé field and the cover letter is in the cover-letter field. Uploading the résumé twice will result in an incomplete application.

Contact Information

Questions may be directed to Saige Middleton, Programme Manager, at:

s.middleton@climatecurve.org

Applicants should ask questions early enough to allow time for a response before the deadline.
