[ECOLOG-L] PhD Fellowships/Assistantships

[Liu, Jianguo]

Dear All,

Please share the following with potentially interested students. Thanks.

***

Fellowships/assistantships are available for self-motivated PhD students to 
conduct innovative and high-impact research at the Center for Systems 
Integration and Sustainability (CSIS) at Michigan State University 
(http://csis.msu.edu).

Research topics may include telecoupling (socioeconomic- environmental 
interactions over distances, through means such as flows of ecosystem services, 
trade of goods and products, globalization, migration, species invasion, 
disease spread, and tourism, 
telecoupling.org),  sustainability 
science, coupled human and natural systems, biodiversity conservation, 
ecosystem services, human well-being, forest and landscape ecology, global 
change, systems integration (e.g., integration of ecology with social sciences 
and policy; food-energy-water nexus), wildlife ecology and conservation (e.g., 
giant pandas in China and polar bears in Alaska), land change science, and 
systems modeling and simulation (e.g., agent-based modeling). Studies on these 
topics by faculty and students at CSIS have been published in journals such as 
Science, Nature, and PNAS. With flexible start dates (e.g., summer or fall of 
2018), successful candidates can build on previous studies and explore new 
frontiers.

Application materials include: (1) letter of application, (2) statement of 
professional goals, (3) CV or resume, (4) transcripts, (5) GRE scores, (6) 
TOEFL scores (for non-native English speakers only), (7) list of 3-4 references 
(names and contact information), and (8) up to three representative 
publications if any. Unofficial copies of GRE, TOEFL and transcripts are OK 
initially.  Applicants are encouraged to submit their application materials as 
soon as possible, or until the positions are filled.  Applications and 
questions about these opportunities should be emailed to:
