*Seeking PhD students for a transdisciplinary graduate training program *
The *Team-TERRA transdisciplinary* graduate training program at the
University of Connecticut is seeking prospective Ph.D. students from a
variety of disciplines in a newly NSF funded transdisciplinary training
program. The team-based, interdisciplinary training addresses complex risks
spread across urbanizing landscapes to the nexus of food, energy, water,
and ecosystems. As part of the training program, trainees will work in
diverse teams to predict and solve the complex problems of the future in
regions that are urbanizing and stretched to both provide the essentials
for human wellbeing while maintaining the many benefits of biodiversity and
natural ecosystems.
The training program consists of a 2-year sequence of coursework,
teamwork, a real-world internship, and associated workshops. Successful
applicants will learn highly sought-after skills in risk analysis,
management, and communication; landscape analysis and decision support
tools embedded in geographic information systems; and how to lead and
collaborate with diverse stakeholders. The trainees will independently
complete and work toward departmental and university dissertation
requirements. Funding is available for 1-year stipends, travel, in addition
to departmental funding opportunities.
If interested, contact the program coordinator,
charlotte.nelson@xxxxxxxxx or any of our faculty to let them know you
are interested in applying to Team-TERRA. You can find more information
about the program on the Team-TERRA website.
