IGERT
Program: Natural-Human Systems in the Urbanizing Tropics</span></b><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"> -
The Integrative
Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program at
the University
of Puerto-Río Piedras (UPR-RP) aims to train Ph.D. students in
interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to environmental
problems in
urbanizing, tropical landscapes. The program is based in the
natural sciences,
but students receive interdisciplinary training in social
science perspectives
on environmental issues and apply these to real-world problems.
The common
element for dissertation research is how human and natural
systems interact. Research
may cover climate, water, food security, renewable energy, waste
management,
biodiversity, or urban system services, among other topics.
Research topics are
developed in collaboration with a government agency, non-profit
organization,
or community group. Projects can be based in Puerto Rico or
elsewhere in the
tropics. Puerto Rico has had a dynamic environmental history,
with nearly
complete deforestation followed by forest recovery, and then
urban sprawl as
the economy modernized. The environmental problems caused by
these shifts,
overlaid by changes in climate and vulnerability to catastrophic
storms, make
Puerto Rico an ideal place to conduct integrative research. This
program is
funded by the National Science Foundation. This IGERT is based
in the UPR-RP
Environmental Science Graduate Program, but students in other
UPR-RP graduate
programs may apply. The deadline for application to UPR-RP
graduate programs is
January 20, 2012. The deadline for application for these IGERT
fellowships is
February 27, 2012. Applicants must contact the IGERT program and
a prospective
advisor before applying. See the website and email addresses
below. Benefits:
$30,000/year for two years; $2,000 for travel and education
materials; office,
computer and software usage; reserved space in all special
courses and
workshops. Website: <a href="http://envsci.uprrp.edu/igert">http://envsci.uprrp.edu/igert</a>.
