Dear Colleagues, We are looking for qualified PhD students to work on aspects of science and technology diffusion and innovation ecosystems in order to inform policy and other decision-making. Please circulate this information among colleagues and prospective students, noting that it reflects updated program information. For further details, feel free to contact me. Best regards, Kathy Araújo Kathleen Araújo, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Technology and Society Department, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences 348 Harriman Hall, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY, 11794-3760 Phone: 631-632-8767, [email protected] *FUNDED ASSISTANTSHIPS for NEW PhD STUDENTS* *Science and Technology Diffusion and Innovation Ecosystems* Stony Brook University – New York Department of Technology and Society, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences The Department of Technology & Society at Stony Brook University invites applications from well-qualified candidates to work in areas of science and technology diffusion and innovation ecosystems to inform national policy and other forms of decision-making. Particular areas of interest include: energy-environmental transitions, the Arctic, international nuclear safety, disaster preparedness, and disease outbreaks. These graduate assistantships are part of an expanding research hub that focuses on grand socio-technical challenges. Funding for accepted students will cover 4 years with associated teaching or research assistantships. *How to apply: *For information on applying for the PhD program, see: http://www.stonybrook.edu/est/graduate/phd.shtml. *Deadline for Fall 2016:* December 1, 2015 *Questions:* For process and administrative inquiries about the PhD program, contact Marypat Taveras, [email protected], (631) 632-8762. Questions about research relating to science and technology diffusion in energy-environmental systems, nuclear safety, innovation ecosystems may be sent to Dr. Kathleen Araújo, [email protected]. Additional departmental research areas may be found at http://www.stonybrook.edu/est/research/research.shtml. *Department of Technology and Society* The Department of Technology and Society, one of seven departments in the *College of Engineering and Applied Sciences* at *Stony Brook University*, applies concepts and tools drawn from natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences to examine and enhance the relationship between technology and our society, both regionally and globally. *Stony Brook University* Stony Brook University, home to many highly ranked graduate research programs, is located 60 miles from New York City on Long Island's scenic North Shore. Our 1,100-acre campus is home to 24,000 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students and more than 13,500 faculty and staff, including those employed at Stony Brook University Medical Center, Suffolk County's only academic medical center and tertiary care provider. The University is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities and co-manager of nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), a multidisciplinary research laboratory supporting world class scientific programs utilizing state-of-the-art facilities such as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the National Synchrotron Light Source, and the Center for Functional Nanomaterials, and the New York Blue IBM BG/L+P supercomputer, owned by Stony Brook and managed by BNL. Stony Brook is a partner in managing the Laboratory for the Department of Energy, and is the largest institutional scientific user of BNL facilities. As such, many opportunities exist for collaborative research, and in some cases, joint appointments can be arranged. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
