Plymouth State University (PSU), Plymouth, NH, is inviting applications for its MS program in Environmental Science and Policy (ES&P). We offer expertise in areas such as watershed ecosystems, hydrology, climate change, ecological economics, landscape ecology, and land use planning. Our curriculum emphasizes the relationships between science and policy, decision making for social and ecological sustainability and resilience, and science communication. Students in the program often collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of faculty, students, and scientists from other academic, governmental, and non-governmental organizations including organizations such as Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, White Mountain National Forest, NH Department of Environmental Services, Appalachian Mountain Club, and the Squam Lakes Association.
Students accepted to PSU’s MS in ESP may be eligible for graduate assistantships (GA). For academic year 2015-16, we anticipate several teaching assistantship (TA) positions. TAs will assist with undergraduate courses in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy. TAs work with faculty on preparing and teaching labs, organizing and preparing field equipment, helping students in the field with monitoring equipment, driving vans, teaching a unit/module, grading assignments and lab field books, assisting with discussions, and leading study groups. A valid US driver’s license is required. Assistantships are available only to full-time students enrolled in the MS program in Environmental Science and Policy and typically provide a stipend of $4,700 and 12 credits of tuition per year. Applications to the MS in ES&P are submitted to PSU’s Graduate Studies.
