Aquatic Science Graduate Fellowships

The Great Lakes WATER (Wisconsin Aquatic Technology and Environmental Research) Institute of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee (UWM) is seeking outstanding applicants for several multi-year fellowships, including the James E. Dutton Fellowship and the James D. and Dorothy Shaw Fellowships in Freshwater Science, to support graduate study at the doctoral level. The Great Lakes WATER Institute is located directly on Lake Michigan and is the largest U.S. institution of its kind in the Great Lakes region. Scientists at the Institute conduct research in aquatic ecology and technology, biogeochemistry, aquaculture, fisheries, and environmental health, focusing on the Great Lakes and other freshwater systems. Interested students can look at the Institute website (www.glwi.uwm.edu/) for specific research descriptions and scientist profiles. Under the direction of Institute scientists, graduate degrees can be pursued through programs with existing campus departments in biological sciences, chemistry, geosciences, and engineering. Students are encouraged to contact Institute scientists directly concerning their specific interests in graduate studies. For information concerning how to apply for the fellowships and graduate studies at UWM, contact Dr. Harvey Bootsma (hbootsma@uwm.edu), Great Lakes WATER Institute, 600 E. Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, WI, 53204.
