Plymouth State University (PSU), Plymouth, NH, is inviting applications for its MS program in Environmental Science and Policy (ES&P). The MS in ES&P is coordinated by PSUs Department of ES&P and the Center for the Environment (CFE). Students will have opportunities to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of faculty, students, and scientists from other academic, governmental, and non-governmental organizations including organizations such as Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, White Mountains National Forest, and NH Department of Environmental Services, and the Squam Lakes Association.
Students accepted to PSUs MS in ESP may be eligible for graduate research assistantships (GRA). For academic year 2015-16, we anticipate four GRAs in the areas of hydrology, environmental social sciences, ecosystem services, climate change, ecological economics, limnogeology, landscape ecology, or a combination of those topics. Students receiving assistantships will conduct field sampling, analytical and/or theoretical work on projects related to our mission, and/or serve as teaching assistants. These assistantships provide a unique opportunity to work with a diverse cohort of students and mentors from a broad array of disciplines focusing on the environment. Assistantships are contingent on acceptance into the MS program in Environmental Science and Policy and typically provide a stipend of $8- 15K and up to 15 credits of tuition per year. Applications to the MS in ES&P are submitted to PSUs Graduate Studies. The priority deadline for applications is January 15, 2014.
