Dear colleagues: Please consider and/or pass along the following fellowship announcement. I am one of the faculty members actively recruiting for this program, and I am very interested in highly qualified candidates interested in looking at issues related to stream ecosystem ecology and its relationship to land use and climate change. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly (rgofo...@purdue.edu) if you are interested in my research (I am currently updating my website). You can also contact the director of the program, Dr. Bryan Pijanowski (bpija...@purdue.edu). Please note that we especially seek applications from individuals from underrepresented groups in science and/or engineering, including women.
Please accept my apologies for any cross-postings. Best, Reuben Goforth Ecological and Environmental Engineering (EEE) Fellowship Program at Purdue Four Ph.D. fellows are sought in the area of Ecological and Environmental Engineering (EEE) via the Department of Education's Graduate Assistance in Area of National Need (GAANN) program. The Purdue EEE-GAANN provides PhD students with fellowships covering tuition as well as an annual need-based stipend of up to $30,000. The Purdue EEE-GAANN focuses on four main areas: (1) water and the environment; (2) wildlife ecology; (3) restoration ecology and (4) ecosystem ecology. Students will receive instruction in GIS, remote sensing and spatial modeling as well as training in teaching and working with natural resource-based stakeholder groups and government agencies. As part of the program, GAANN faculty from the Departments of Forestry and Natural Resources, Agriculture and Biological Engineering and Civil Engineering will participate in special cross-disciplinary seminar courses in sustainability science, teaching of science and engineering, and communicating scientific research to the public. Students that are interested in the program must apply to graduate programs in one of the three sponsoring departments (Forestry and Natural Resources, Agriculture and Biological Engineering and Civil Engineering) by January 15, 2010 for consideration for Fall 2010 admission. Instructions for applying to the EEE-GAANN are given at http://www.ag.purdue.edu/fnr/Pages/EEEfellowshipprogram.aspx . Inquiries about the program can be directed to Dr. Bryan C. Pijanowski (bpija...@purdue.edu). Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents. We especially seek applications from individuals from underrepresented groups in science and/or engineering, which include women. Purdue is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and encourages applications from women and members of minority groups.
