NSF-IGERT Ph.D. Traineeships in Geomicrobiology

December 2nd, 2009

We are excited to announce the availability of Ph.D. traineeships as part of a National Science Foundation Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) Program focused on the geomicrobiology of complex microbiological systems. This graduate program brings together expertise in hydrodynamics, geochemistry, microbial ecology, biochemistry and genomics. The primary goal of this research and education program is to train students to use interdisciplinary approaches in the study of microbial communities that lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the important interface between the biosphere and geosphere. The novel training program encompasses research scientists focused on the microbiology of extreme thermal (Thermal Biology Institute), psychrophilic (SubZero Science and , or industrial biofilm communities.

For more information and application instructions, please consult the IGERT Program on-line at www.igertmsu.montana.edu.

If you need additional information regarding program content or application procedures, please contact Dr. Bill Inskeep (binskeep@montana.edu) or Dr. Christine Foreman (cforeman@montana.edu).

Research Assistantship, Coastal Oceanography and Engineering

October 14th, 2009

The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) announce the availability of funds for two students to join their Joint Program in Coastal Science and Engineering (http://www.gtsav.gatech.edu/go/cse). This program, a collaborative effort between Skidaway and Georgia Tech’s Civil and Environmental Engineering program in Savannah, Georgia, focuses on issues and problems that lie at the intersection of science and engineering in coastal and ocean environments. It includes numerous courses jointly taught by Skidaway and GT faculty members, and field experiences on Skidaway’s R/V Savannah, a 29 m UNOLS-fleet vessel.
The available support is for graduate students (M.S. or Ph.D.) admitted to Georgia Tech’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (see grad.gatech.edu for application instructions). Students may choose the Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Water Resources (EFMWR) or Environmental Engineering tracks. Funding is available as early as January 2010 to work with a Skidaway investigator on the BOTTOMS-UP benthic observation project (http://www.skio.usg.edu/?p=research/phy/bottomsup). This is a multidisciplinary project, so students with interest in biological, chemical, and physical process-related issues, or a combination, are all encouraged to apply. Please contact:

Dr. Paul Work, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Tech (paul.work@gatech.edu) for application and academic program information, or

Dr. William Savidge, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (William.savidge@skio.usg.edu) for more information about the BOTTOMS-UP program and other research opportunities at Skidaway Institute of Oceanography.
