发信站: 饮水思源 (2014年12月05日03:13:43 星期五)
The University of Florida (UF) Water Institute Graduate Fellows Program is off
ering an opportunity for six Ph.D. students to join an interdisciplinary cohor
t working on the complex and interconnected set of biophysical and social impa
cts brought about by the construction and operation of hydroelectric dams in t
he Amazon. The world’s largest watershed, the Amazon is a global provider of
key ecosystem services and is being transformed by dam construction and other
infrastructure development. The UF student faculty/cohort will work within a
n already existing research network that includes Amazonian institutions and o
ther researchers worldwide that seeks to understand and manage these transform
ations. We seek students who have an interest in working collaboratively in a
team of students and faculty with shared interests, but distinct disciplinary
backgrounds as described here:
http://waterinstitute.ufl.edu/WIGF/2015Cohort/ParticipatingFaculty_2015.asp.
In particular, Dr. Denis Valle and Dr. Stephanie Bohlman are seeking students
to develop research focused on interactions among deforestation, land use, and
hydrology (Dr. Bohlman) or quantifying dam impacts on economy, deforestation,
and disease (Dr. Valle). Preferred applicants will be highly motivated, have
interdisciplinary experience, have strong quantitative skills, and competitive
GPA/GRE scores (>50% percentile required). Both US and non-US citizens are el
igible for these fellowships.
The 4-year fellowships include a $25,000 annual stipend, tuition waiver and he
alth insurance. Fellows will benefit from international field experience in t
he Brazilian Amazon region and integrative activities that enhance interdiscip
linary skills. For more information and the online application, visit http://waterinstitute.edu/WIGF/
or contact Dr. Bohlman
(sbohlman@ufl.edu) and Dr. Valle (drvalle@ufl.edu). If you are interested in
pursuing a graduate degree on this project, please submit a CV, GRE scores a
nd GPA, contact information for three references, and a brief statement of you
r research interests, career goals, and why you would like to pursue a graduat
e degree via the application link (http://waterinstitute.ufl.edu/WIGF/.
Information about Gainesville, Florida:
Situated in the rolling countryside of north-central Florida, Gainesville is m
uch more than a stereotypical college town. Home of the University of Florida,
seat of Alachua County's government and the region's commercial hub, it is pr
ogressive, environmentally conscious and culturally diverse. UF has an interna
tionally recognized program in Tropical Conservation and Development (TCD) tha
t draws students from, and has created an alumni network, around the world. T
he presence of many students and faculty from abroad among its 99,000-plus pop
ulation adds a strong cross-cultural flavor to its historic small-town Souther
n roots. Its natural environment, temperate climate and civic amenities make G
ainesville a beautiful, pleasant and interesting place in which to learn and t
o live. Gainesville has been ranked as one of the best cities to live in the U
nited States.
