Job OpeningPhD Fellowships -- Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Ecosystem Restoration $30,000 Stipend plus tuition and fees The State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) encourages recent graduates of undergraduate or masters programs to apply to its new doctoral degree concentration in Ecosystem Restoration through Interdisciplinary Exchange (ERIE). The ERIE program provides Ph.D. students with the technical, professional and personal skills needed to become leaders in the emerging field of ecosystem restoration through its focus on innovative and interdisciplinary research in environmental science, engineering, and policy. The research at UB¡¦s ERIE program is rooted in a number of nationally-recognized Great Lakes watershed and stream restoration efforts occurring in western New York State.Eligible ERIE students (US citizens or permanent residents) are funded through a National Science Foundation IGERT traineeship that provides tuition, a generous stipend, and academic and travel expenses for two years of graduate work towards a Ph.D., followed by additional support through departmental assistantships. ERIE students take several core courses in ecosystem restoration principles and practice, attend several external professional training short courses, and participate in Canadian academic exchange activities, while also completing requirements for doctorates in any of eight programs at UB or nearby Buffalo State University:
Applications are due February 1. For program and application information, please visit http://www.erie.buffalo.edu/ or contact: David M.

Our IGERT program in Adaptive Management focuses on research and training experiences for doctoral students that integrate the physical, biological, chemical, and social sciences to address the chosen research theme, Wise Use of Water, Wetlands, and Watersheds. The program links four colleges, fifteen departments, and three research centers at the University of Florida with international wetlands research centers in Africa, Mexico, South America, Australia, and south Florida. A core set of interdisciplinary team taught courses are a key part of the educational experience of our fellows. In addition, fellows will spend each summer at one of the international research centers researching and exploring, first hand, Adaptive Management and the science, engineering, and policy frameworks that are necessary to drive it. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. Our NSF-IGERT fellowship awards include tuition waivers, funds for travel and some supplies. In accordance with NSF policy, applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents. Application Deadline: February 15, 2009 Additional information and application guidelines are on-line at CONTACT:
