| UPR-RP IGERT Program: Natural-Human Systems in the Urbanizing Tropics- The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program at the University of Puerto-Río Piedras (UPR-RP) aims to train Ph.D. students in interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to environmental problems in urbanizing, tropical landscapes. The program is based in the natural sciences, but students receive interdisciplinary training in social science perspectives on environmental issues and apply these to real-world problems. The common element for dissertation research is how human and natural systems interact. Research may cover climate, water, food security, renewable energy, waste management, biodiversity, or urban system services, among other topics. Research topics are developed in collaboration with a government agency, non-profit organization, or community group. Projects can be based in Puerto Rico or elsewhere in the tropics. Puerto Rico has had a dynamic environmental history, with nearly complete deforestation followed by forest recovery, and then urban sprawl as the economy modernized. The environmental problems caused by these shifts, overlaid by changes in climate and vulnerability to catastrophic storms, make Puerto Rico an ideal place to conduct integrative research. This program is funded by the National Science Foundation. This IGERT is based in the UPR-RP Environmental Science Graduate Program, but students in other UPR-RP graduate programs may apply. The deadline for application to UPR-RP graduate programs is January 20, 2012. The deadline for application for these IGERT fellowships is February 27, 2012. Applicants must contact the IGERT program and a prospective advisor before applying. See the website and email addresses below. Benefits: $30,000/year for two years; $2,000 for travel and education materials; office, computer and software usage; reserved space in all special courses and workshops.

| Grad school or Peace Corps…why not do
both? The Peace Corps Master’s International program combines
graduate study with Peace Corps service overseas. Prospective students
apply simultaneously to the Peace Corps and the graduate program(s) of
their choice. Typically, students complete one year of graduate school
and then serve 27 months in the Peace Corps, after which they return to
the university to complete any remaining degree requirements. More than
50 universities – nine of which offer graduate degrees in forestry
– currently partner with the program. Since 1987, the Master’s International program has offered participants a unique opportunity to combine graduate study with significant international service, connecting theory and practice and contributing to the Peace Corps' first goal: to help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women. For more information about this education adventure of a lifetime, please visit www.peacecorps.gov/masters.

APROVACA. Republic of
Panama. Intern/Volunteer. Created in 2001 in order to protect
Panamanian orchids from extinction and seek for a more sustainable
way of development. We therefore grow both the endangered endemic
species and non-local horticultural ones in our nursery for
different motives. We try to conserve the former by reproducing
them, while selling the latter to visitors to raise funds for our
eco-friendly activities and to make the very act of gathering wild
orchids for profits redundant. Overall, we aim to conserve the local
biodiversity and promote an environmentally conscious and
sustainable form of tourism. Website: <http://aprovaca.webs.com/>

Organization for Tropical Studies <http://www.ots.duke.edu/> The OTS is a non-profit consortium that has grown to include 65 universities and research institutions from the United States, Latin America and Australia. In the early 1960's, scientists from U.S. universities forged working relationships with colleagues at the Universidad de Costa Rica in the interest of strengthening education and research in tropical biology. Intense interest both in the U.S. and Costa Rica led to the founding of OTS in 1963. OTS was founded to provide leadership in education, research and the responsible use of natural resources in the tropics. To address this mission, OTS conducts graduate and undergraduate education, facilitates research, participates in tropical forest conservation, maintains three biological stations in Costa Rica and conducts environmental education programs. The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) offers a broad range of Tropical Biology and Ecology graduate level courses in Spanish or English in Costa Rica, and in Portuguese and Spanish in the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon, respectively. OTS graduate courses are open to students enrolled in graduate degree programs, with preference given to students at OTS member institutions. OTS has an outstanding reputation for excellence and has maintained this through rigorous selection and evaluation of instructors, faculty and students.To be eligible for a course, an applicant must be fluent in the language in which the course is given. |
