Dartmouth is seeking applicants for the National Science Foundation
(NSF) Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT)
program in Polar Environmental Change. The program is based in Hanover,
New Hampshire.
Polar systems are at the forefront of global change science research.
IGERT is an interdisciplinary graduate program in polar sciences and
engineering that merges expertise and facilities from science and
engineering departments at Dartmouth College with the U.S. Army Cold
Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), creating one of the
premier centers of scientific expertise in polar research. The
investment of Dartmouth's Dickey Center for International Understanding
and its Institute of Arctic Studies in forming relationships with
Greenlandic institutions and Inuit leaders provides the opportunity for
intensive field training in Greenland where science, policy, and
indigenous issues of the north can be explored. Collectively these
experiences provide rigorous training in polar and related sciences and
produce scientists with an advanced knowledge of the role of science in
policy and the ethics of conducting research with indigenous people.
Research training is coupled with a coordinated core curriculum that
focuses on three components of arctic or Antarctic systems responding to
rapid change in climate:
- The cryosphere - glacial ice, snow, and sea ice systems;
- Terrestrial ecosystems and biogeochemical linkages between the
soil, plant, and animal system; and
- Human systems - the process of policy making in political and
social systems where Western science and traditional knowledge
provide information.
Applicants should visit the Dartmouth IGERT website first for
information on participating departments, requirements, and application
procedures: www.dartmouth.edu/~igert/.
The Dartmouth IGERT encourages applications from minorities, women, and
individuals with disabilities. They especially seek to engage with
Native American students, as is Dartmouth's tradition, by offering a
graduate science program that is relevant to their individual needs and
those of their communities.
