Hello Everyone, I've got a last-minute opportunity for a PhD student who's interested in studying coupled human-natural systems with a focus on GIS/computational modeling techniques. The successful candidate would be accepted into Dartmouth's Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program, http://www.dartmouth.edu/~biology/eeb/index.html with 5 years of support (tuition, stipend = 24K, health benefits), assuming they make good progress toward their degree. I would be their primary adviser, with other committee members drawn from either ecology or environmental studies. They would get to work with me on the final year of my Fishscape project ( http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=1010280) and on the development of proposals for similar research projects. We would expect that their dissertation would contain both ecological and social components, though they may write discipline-specific papers. Coursework is in ecology augmented by independent study in the social sciences. Strong quantitative skills are required, experience with GIS would be a plus, as is an MA in a related discipline.
If you know of any such candidates, please have them send me their CV, GRE scores, and a letter of interest. We need to move quickly on this, so we'll start reviewing applications as they arrive. Also, please disseminate this information through your networks. Thanks much for your help & happy spring! best, dgwebster PS Please don't "reply all" on this one--it's going to a lot of people. -- D.G.
