NSF IGERT Doctoral Fellowships in the Ecology, Management and Restoration of Integrated Human-Natural Landscapes at UIC
Two-year NSF IGERT doctoral fellowships are available at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the LEAP (”Landscape, Ecological and Anthropogenic Processes”) doctoral training program. Next year will be the fifth year of the LEAP Program, a broadly interdisciplinary program with the goal of training future researchers and leaders in the ecology, management and restoration of integrated human/natural landscapes. Students earn a Ph.D. in a participating department after completing a rigorous two-year interdisciplinary training program that includes a substantial outreach component. The LEAP training program focuses on the health and vitality of ecosystems in which nature and people interact closely, and concentrates heavily on research, restoration and management programs in the greater metropolitan Chicago area. The LEAP Program involves faculty and doctoral students from the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Urban Planning and Public Affairs at UIC. A major innovation of the UIC IGERT is the active participation of numerous cooperating partners in the Chicago region (Chicago Wilderness, Chicago Botanic Garden, Morton Arboretum, Field Museum, US Forest Service, US Army Corps of Engineers and the Illinois Natural History Survey). For more information about the program and how to apply, please visit our website at http://www.leap.uic.edu.
The UIC LEAP Program strongly encourages applications from women and minorities.
