The Center for the Environment at Plymouth State University is
inviting applications for the Master of Science program in
Environmental Science and Policy. The work of the Center for the
Environment (CFE) is primarily focused on the White Mountains and
Lakes Region of New Hampshire or in the broader New England region,
and applies the environmental sciences and interdisciplinary
approaches to important environmental issues. Students will have
opportunities to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of faculty
and students, and scientists from other institutions working at the
Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and other academic, governmental,
and non-governmental organizations. Individuals from all disciplinary
backgrounds will be considered.
Graduate research assistantships (GRA) may be available in the areas
of hydrology, forest ecology, environmental social sciences, or a
combination of those topics. Students receiving assistantships will
conduct field sampling, analytical, and/or theoretical work on
projects related to our mission. Research topics for the
assistantships are varied, but all GRAs support students enrolled in
the Environmental Science and Policy M.S. program at Plymouth State
University. These GRAs provide an excellent opportunity to work with
a broader cohort of students and their mentors, working at the
intersection of plant ecology, biogeochemistry, hydrology, and social
sciences. A signature of the program is that graduate work must
involve a substantive contribution to outreach.
Prospective students are invited to visit the CFE website
www[dot]plymouth[dot]edu[slash]cfe and to contact Betsy Ayotte
(seayotte[at]Plymouth[dot]edu) at CFE. In addition to the application
materials required by the College of Graduate Studies
www[dot]plymouth[dot]edu[slash]graduate[slash]admissions, please
submit a statement of interest and a current resume/CV to Betsy
Ayotte (seayotte[at]Plymouth[dot]edu) to be considered for graduate
assistantship funding. The priority deadline for funding
consideration is February 15.
