PhD Fellowships/assistantships

Fellowships/assistantships are available for self-motivated students to pursue PhD degrees and conduct innovative and high-impact research in the Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability (CSIS) at Michigan State University (http://csis.msu.edu).

Research topics may include telecoupling (telecoupling.org), sustainability science, UN Sustainable Development Goals, coupled human and natural systems, systems integration (e.g., integration of natural sciences such as ecology with social sciences such as economics, policy, and technology), biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, food-energy-water-climate nexus, human well-being, nature-based climate solutions, forest and landscape ecology, global change, wildlife ecology and conservation, land change science, and computer modeling and simulation (e.g., agent-based modeling). Studies on these and other related topics by faculty and students at CSIS have been published in journals such as Science and Nature.

Current projects funded by NSF and other sources include Telecoupling Arctic (e.g. Alaska), impacts of climate change and natural disasters (e.g., droughts and floods in the US) on biodiversity far away (e.g., Brazil), and complex effects of international food trade (e.g., among Brazil, China, and USA) on land use, biodiversity, and ecosystem services.
Successful candidates can build on previous/current studies and explore new frontiers. Start dates are flexible (e.g., spring, summer or fall of 2023).

Applications are welcome from students with a variety of backgrounds and in a wide range of disciplines, such as anthropology, behavioral science, biology, computer science and engineering, conservation, data science, demography, ecology, economics, environmental science and engineering, geographic information science, geography, geosciences, land science, remote sensing, sociology, sustainability science, and other related fields.

Initial application materials include: (1) CV or resume, (2) GPA scores, (3) GRE scores (including percentile information), and (4) TOEFL scores (for non-native English speakers only). Unofficial copies of GRE, TOEFL and transcripts are OK initially. Applicants are encouraged to submit their application materials as soon as possible. Additional information will be requested for those applicants who are ranked as semi-finalists and finalists. Applications and questions about these opportunities should be emailed to:

• PhD – West Virginia

PhD GRA Position in Forest Ecology and Global Change, Department of Biology at West Virginia University

Ph.D. student positions are available in the Ecosystem Physiology and Global Change lab headed by Dr. Steve Kannenberg, located in the Department of Biology at West Virginia University. Research in the lab is centered around understanding the health and functioning of plants in the face of global change, with a particular focus on western drylands and eastern temperate forests. To do so, we integrate physiological methods, tree rings, eddy covariance, and vegetation modeling. Details about current projects in the lab can be found at: stevekannenberg.weebly.com. Incoming students are expected to develop their own research projects in these areas. Importantly, we strive to promote a fun, supportive, and enthusiastic lab environment that encourages an atmosphere of shared intellectual development.

These positions guarantee a $32k stipend for 5 years (contingent on satisfactory progress towards degree completion) through research assistantships, fellowships, or teaching assistantships. The preferred start date is August 2023 or January 2024. Interested applicants should contact Steve (steven.kannenberg@mail.wvu.edu) prior to submitting an application, and include a CV along with 2-3 paragraphs detailing: 1) their research experiences, and 2) why they are interested in the lab. Students are encouraged to apply for internal and external fellowships, and Steve would be happy to help develop proposals.

More detailed information about the WVU Biology graduate student program is available at: https://biology.wvu.edu/students/graduate-students. The GRE is not required to apply. Although we accept students on a rolling basis there is a January 31, 2023 deadline for university-wide fellowships (https://graduateeducation.wvu.edu/fellowships). The Department of Biology at WVU has a strong core of faculty members with expertise in forest ecology and biogeochemistry, and is in close proximity to world-class research sites including the WVU Research Forest and the Fernow Experimental Forest (as.wvu.edu/fernow/). Morgantown, West Virginia is a medium-sized college town that offers a low cost of living and bountiful access to a variety of outdoor activities.
