Northern Arizona University’s (https://nau.edu/) Informatics PhD program with an emphasis in Ecological and Environmental Informatics
integrates informatics (data science, computing, statistical analysis,
synthesis, modeling) ecology, environmental and climate science, and
other disciplines to address pressing global issues. NAU is located in
the scenic mountain town of Flagstaff, AZ with access to outdoor
recreation, a vibrant community, and dedicated faculty (https://ecoinfo.nau.edu/index.php/who-we-are/#Faculty) doing internationally renowned research (https://ecoinfo.nau.edu/index.php/what/).
Our T3 option (https://ecoinfo.nau.edu/index.php/nrt/),
funded through a National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT)
award, aims to train students in team science and science communication
as they gain expertise in Ecological and Environmental Informatics, and
to prepare trainees for a diverse range of career paths. Fellowships
($34,000/year stipend, tuition benefits, health insurance, for 1-2
years) are available for outstanding applicants; we strongly
encourage applications from women and members of underrepresented
minority groups.
Additional funding is available via research (https://ecoinfo.nau.edu/index.php/openings/)
and teaching assistantships. All funded students receive a tuition
waiver. Exceptional early applicants may be eligible for supplemental
funding through NAU’s Presidential Fellowship (https://ecoinfo.nau.edu/index.php/presidential-fellowship/).
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the final (Graduate
College) deadline on January 1, 2022. For full funding consideration, we
recommend applying during the Fall 2021 semester;prospective students
should apply (https://www.applyweb.com/northazg/index.ftl)
to the Informatics and Computing (INF) program, and explicitly indicate
interest in the EEI T3 program within the personal statement.
We
strongly encourage interested students to contact prospective faculty (https://ecoinfo.nau.edu/index.php/who-we-are/) mentors or the T3 Program Coordinator (Dr. Kimberly Samuels-Crow, Kimberly.Samuels@nau.edu) prior to applying.
