Pursue a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences at Wright State University The Interdisciplinary Environmental Sciences Ph.D. program at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio invites applicants for Fall 2013 admission. The program provides interdisciplinary and focused topic courses, exciting research opportunities and training to prepare its students to better understand and solve complex environmental problems affecting human and ecosystem health, such as those caused by anthropogenic pollutants, increased greenhouse gas emissions, invasive species, habitat fragmentation and loss of biodiversity. Our students receive training in preparation for careers in academia, state and federal agencies, industry, and non-profit organizations. Through a rigorous core curriculum and dissertation research, our program is designed to expose students to both traditional and emerging areas of environmental sciences, and offers the ability to focus on research in a more defined area. The program includes faculty in the departments of Biological Sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology and Toxicology, Neuroscience, Cell Biology and Physiology, Computer Science, and Mathematics and Statistics. Current research, which is funded by agencies such as the United States Department of Agriculture, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Defense, ranges from issues of importance to aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric environments and from levels of organization from molecular to ecosystem levels. Research approaches range from data mining and modeling to lab- and field-based research.
The program offers stipends on a competitive basis to qualified applicants ($22,660/yr. for Fall 2013) along with a waiver of tuition costs. Highly qualified applicants are also eligible to receive a Yellow Springs Instruments (YSI) Fellowship supplement for the first year in the program.
