Doctoral Traineeships in Aquatic Sensing Kent State and Miami University of Ohio
We are now accepting applications for our National Science Foundation funded Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training program entitled: "Environmental Aquatic Resource Sensing (EARS): Basic Science, Business Education and Outreach". The EARS IGERT is part of the NSF foundation-wide interdisciplinary doctoral student training program. The theme of the EARS IGERT is training of doctoral students in environmental sensing, focused on freshwater resources, accentuated with business experiences, to develop professionals equipped for diverse careers. Students eligible for traineeships are those that will be, or have already been, successfully admitted to doctoral programs in one of the participating science departments (Kent: Biological Sciences, Chemical Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Geology; Miami: Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Microbiology, Zoology); international students are not eligible. IGERT trainees receive a stipend of $30,000 plus $10,500 for cost of education per year. Details, including the application materials and frequently asked questions, can be found at our web page: http://drosophila.biology.kent.edu/IGERT/. For more information, please e mail Margaret Nagella, IGERT program assistant, at [email protected]. To ensure full consideration for a traineeship, please apply before February 1st 2012: applications will continue to be accepted until all positions are filled. Please also make sure you are aware of and follow the specific deadlines and requirements for graduate admissions for the specific department of interest. Initial notifications will be made by approximately the 3rd week of February. If you have questions or need assistance in applying, please let us know.
