*IGERT PhD Fellowships in Watershed Science and Policy at SIU *Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIU) is offering 3 PhD fellowships in 2013 as part of NSF's Integrative Graduate Education Research and Training (IGERT) program.
The IGERT cohort will be comprised of an interdisciplinary team of students working together for the two years of the fellowship (2013-2015). Prospective students with interest in any watershed-related field of study (e.g., forestry, geology, hydrology, geography, engineering, biology, ecology, natural resource economics, or human dimensions of natural resource management) are encouraged to inquire with one of the IGERT Principal Investigators (listed at www.igert.siu.edu) for more information about the program. Applicants holding a Master’s degree by the time the IGERT Fellowship begins are preferred, but direct PhD entry is possible in cases of exceptional qualifications. Fellowship benefits include a $30,000/year stipend for two years, $10,500/year cost of education allowance for two years, laptop, and travel support. Fellowships are available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. The IGERT application deadline is May 1, 2013. The start date for the fellowship program is August 19, 2013. Please note that applying to the IGERT also requires applying to the Graduate School and Department of the student’s major advisor.
