MSc Graduate Research in West African Savanna Ecology. Funding is available for a 2-year Masters Graduate Fellowship for a student interested to study ecology and natural resource management in West African Savannas. The student will have the opportunity to conduct field research in West Africa at a series of experimental research sites. Student research will complement on-going research at these sites in savanna ecology and pastoral systems. The selected student will be provided some flexibility in choosing their specific research theme.
A 2-year Fellowship is available, with anticipated start date prior to Fall 2012 semester. Ideally students would also be available for fieldwork in West Africa this Summer (June-July 2012). Prospective students are welcome to contact Niall Hanan first to discuss potential projects. To apply, send a single pdf file with the following information to [email protected]: 1) a cover letter outlining your research interests, experience and career goals, 2) your CV or resumé, 3) scores from recent GRE exams, and 4) contact information for at least 2 academic referees. Applications will be accepted until a suitable applicant is found.
