The 4-year fellowships include a $25,000 stipend, tuition waiver and health insurance.
Fellows will explore interdisciplinary research issues affecting watershed management in the face of EPA’s new nutrient criteria for
Florida waters. We seek students who have: 1) an interest in integrative, cross-disciplinary research, 2) a passion for understanding interactions between human and natural systems, and 3) an eagerness to develop research in one facet of the program, i.e.nutrient best management practices, hydrologic processes, riverine nutrient processing, ecological consequences of nutrient enrichment,
paleolimnology, environmental policy and governance, and systems modeling.

Fellows will be supported by an internal research grants program andN will benefit from international field experiences and integrative
activities that enhance interdisciplinary skills. Applicants must have a Masters degree in natural sciences, social sciences or engineering
with strong demonstrated interest in water issues.
