NSF IGERT Fellowships in the Ecology, Management and Restoration of
Integrated Human-Natural Landscapes at UIC
Two-year NSF IGERT fellowships are available at the University of Illinois
at Chicago in the LEAP ("Landscape, Ecological and Anthropogenic Processes")
doctoral training program. Next year will be the fith year of the LEAP
Program, a broadly interdisciplinary program with the goal of training
future researchers and leaders in the ecology, management and restoration of
integrated human/natural landscapes. Students earn a Ph.D. in a
participating department after completing a rigorous two-year
interdisciplinary training program that includes a substantial outreach
component. The LEAP training program focuses on the health and vitality of
ecosystems in which nature and people interact closely, and concentrates
heavily on research, restoration and management programs in the greater
metropolitan Chicago area. The LEAP Program involves faculty and doctoral
students from the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Urban
Planning and Public Affairs at UIC. A major innovation of the UIC IGERT is
the active participation of numerous cooperating partners in the Chicago
region (Chicago Wilderness, Chicago Botanic Garden, Morton Arboretum, Field
Museum, US Forest Service, US Army Corps of Engineers and the Illinois
Natural History Survey). For more information about the program and how to
apply, please visit our website at http://www.leap.uic.edu.
The UIC LEAP Program strongly encourages applications from women and
minorities.
