[beasiswa] [INFO] M.S. and PhD positions

 

The Department of Anthropology at the University of Maine is pleased to announce two funded PhD opportunities.
�
1. Adaptation to Abrupt Climate Change:
The University of Maine has launched a new, National Science Foundation sponsored Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) - the first of its kind to focus explicitly on Adaptation to Abrupt Climate Change (A2C2). The A2C2 IGERT is a doctoral training program for students in earth sciences, ecology, anthropology, archaeology, international affairs, and economics. A2C2 is designed to train the next generation of natural and social scientists to meet the critical societal challenge of human adaptation to abrupt climate change. The program relies on close inter-disciplinary cooperation between natural and social scientists, and it is particularly interested in receiving applications from candidates with an undergraduate or Masters degree in anthropology. Successful applicants will be admitted to the University of Maine's Anthropology and Environmental Policy Ph.D. program and will receive an annual stipend of $30,000 in each of the first two years, plus tuition, fees, and health insurance coverage. They will work with an advisor to secure intra-mural or extra-mural support for subsequent years. Students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents to receive IGERT support.

Graduate Assistantships Conover Fellowship in Park and Conservation Area Management (Ph.D./M.S.)
�
The Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management is one of the oldest and largest programs of its type in the country, consisting of approximately 500 undergraduate and 80 graduate students. In total, the Department has over 30 faculty members. Park and Conservation Area Management (PCAM) faculty teach and conduct a strong, diverse program of research that spans across the U.S. and internationally, across major land management agencies, and into multiple topic areas that address the most pressing needs of our parks and conservation areas. Scholarship and teaching in PCAM are centered on park and conservation area visitors, stakeholders, and management.
�
A M.S. or Ph.D. in Park and Conservation Area Management prepares students to work for governmental, university, and not-for-profit agencies and organizations who help manage our natural and historic resources for public enjoyment. These organizations include the National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S.D.A. Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, state parks, regional/local park systems and
environmental advocacy groups. Our Ph.D. graduates often work as university faculty or as program specialists for major governmental or non-profit land management organizations. Requirements for completion of our M.S. and Ph.D. degrees ensure that our graduates are highly competitive applicants for career-level positions.
�
PCAM Faculty are currently seeking well-qualified applicants for the Ph.D. and M.S. program. Applications are accepted and encouraged from those whose prior education did not include the formal study of recreation and parks. Graduate assistantships are available to well-qualified applicants that cover a student's tuition and provide a modest but adequate stipend for living. Also, the Conover Graduate Fellowship is awarded to outstanding PCAM applicants to support their graduate education. Applications for fall graduate admissions, assistantships, and fellowships are considered in mid-January of each year.
