PhD Fellowships Available $30,000 NSF stipend plus tuition and fees IGERT in Adaptive Management
The Center for Environmental Policy at the University of Florida has received an NSF-IGERT grant and is offering PhD Fellowships. Our IGERT program in Adaptive Management focuses on research and training experiences for doctoral students that integrate the physical, biological, chemical, and social sciences to address the chosen research theme, Wise Use of Water, Wetlands, and Watersheds. The program links four colleges, fifteen departments, and three research centers at the University of Florida with international wetlands research centers in Africa, India, and south Florida. A core set of interdisciplinary team taught courses are a key part of the educational experience of our fellows. In addition, fellows will spend each summer at one of the international research centers researching and exploring, first hand, Adaptive Management and the science, engineering, and policy frameworks that are necessary to drive it.
IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Our NSF-IGERT fellowship awards include tuition waivers, funds for travel and some supplies. In accordance with NSF policy, applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.
Application deadline: February 15, 2009
