NSF-IGERT Ph.D. Traineeships in Geomicrobiology

We are excited to announce the availability of Ph.D. traineeships as part of a National Science Foundation Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) Program focused on the geomicrobiology of complex microbiological systems. This graduate program brings together expertise in hydrodynamics, geochemistry, microbial ecology, biochemistry and genomics. The primary goal of this research and education program is to train students to use consistent and coherent interdisciplinary approaches in the study of microbial communities that lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the important interface between the biosphere and geosphere. The novel training program encompasses research scientists focused on the microbiology of extreme thermal, psychrophilic, or industrial biofilm communities. For more information and application instructions, please consult the IGERT Program on-line at www.igertmsu.montana.edu. If you need additional information regarding program content or application procedures, please contact Drs. Bill Inskeep (binskeep@montana.edu) or Christine Foreman (cforeman@montana.edu).
