Dear all,
We have recently received funding from the US National Science Foundation to support two MS students for projects focused on Arctic paleoclimate – one in Greenland and the other in eastern Canada.
Students will be part of a vibrant graduate program in the Rubenstein School of the Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont (USA) and co-advised by Drs. Paul Bierman (UVM), Jeremy Shakun (Boston College), Andrew Christ (UVM), and Nico Perdrial (UVM). We strongly encourage people underrepresented in the Earth Sciences to join us including black, indigenous, and people of color, women, LGBTQ+ folks, veterans, people with disabilities, and first generation college students. We strive for an equitable, safe, and positive research and learning community.
Our hope is to recruit people to start their degrees in Spring Semester 2022 but will consider applicants for a June 2022 start. To reduce applicant costs and time investment, we are doing an initial screening of interested people. We will then ask a short list of candidates to make a formal application to the University of Vermont and have a video chat interview. If you are interested in these opportunities, please fill out the pre-application google form in the link below.
Please reach out to me (Andrew.Christ@uvm.edu) if you have questions about how to apply or need help with the application. We will start evaluating these pre-applications on October 15, 2021.

Please see the attached advertisement that fully explains the positions and the project opportunities.
Thanks for sharing this opportunity with the community.
Sincerely,
