Applications accepted for the University of New Hampshire’s Natural Resources and Earth Systems Science (NRESS) Ph.D. program (https://www.unh.edu/nressphd)
Join teams of faculty and doctoral students in the highly interdisciplinary NRESS PhD program (UNH’s largest PhD program) - currently accepting applications for the Fall 2018 term. NRESS faculty serving as our students’ advisors and committee members represent more than 26 departments, 5 colleges, 8 research groups, and several outreach programs. The NRESS Ph.D. Program draws on the University's strengths* in environmental and earth sciences, life sciences, social sciences, and ethical and policy studies. NRESS offers two PhD degrees: • Ph.D. in Natural Resources and Environmental Studies (NRES) - Focuses on problems dealing with the allocation and distribution of natural resources, policies at the local to global scale, and ethical and societal factors that affect resource management. Students typically enter the program with a bachelors and/or master's degree in economics, environmental conservation, philosophy, political science, or sociology. • Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) - Focuses on problems dealing with the physical, chemical, and/or biological processes that affect earth and environmental systems. Students typically enter the program with a bachelors and/or master's degree in biology, ecology, environmental science, geology, hydrology, or microbiology. Most applicants enter the program with a Master's degree. Applicants who do not have a Master’s degree are considered based on academic merit and significant work and/or research experience. All applicants must identify/contact a potential faculty advisor (NRESS faculty listed here - https://www.unh.edu/nressphd/nress-faculty) who will commit to accepting her/him as a doctoral student if the candidate is admitted to the NRESS program.
