Decoding Ireland's DNA (Students receive credit for
BIOL1420 - The Genetic Century)
(June 4 - July 3, 2016)
This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of genetic principles and the many ways that genetics affects human history and our daily life. Since earliest times, human history has been shaped by man's manipulation of genes. A country's history is in many ways a story of changes that occur in the DNA of the people and other living organisms that inhabit its land.The small size of the summer course allows a more interactive format than is possible during the regular academic year. In the course, we will study the principles of genetics set against the unique background of Ireland. We will learn how information in genes produces traits, how genes are transferred between generations, how migration and selection affect the diversity of populations and about new genetic technologies that are transforming 21st century life. Course excursions and activities will provide real-life context for the principles discussed in class.

We, at the University of Massachusetts Boston, are
excited to be offering eight fully funded Ph.D. fellowships in our new Coasts
and Communities IGERT program. These fellowships are competitively awarded to
Ph.D. students interested in conducting transdisciplinary research and
developing innovative and sustainable solutions to the most pressing
environmental challenges facing coasts and communities. Please feel free to
widely disseminate the announcement below:
The Coasts and Communities IGERT (Integrative Graduate
Education and Research Traineeship) program at the University of Massachusetts
Boston is seeking applications from Ph.D. students who have applied or intend
to apply to one of our environmental Ph.D. programs (https://www.umb.edu/igert/apply/fellows).
Coasts and Communities fellowships are awarded to Ph.D. students whose academic
and intellectual interests center on the development and implementation of
sustainable solutions to environmental problems. These solutions evolve through
academic and research experiences at the intersection of disciplines.
Therefore, applicants should be deeply committed to the principles of
transdisciplinarity. Moreover, because environmental problems do not recognize
geographic boundaries, the fellows work across geographies through active
engagement with our partners in the Horn of Africa. Consequently, successful
applicants are expected to bring a global perspective to their work.
For more information on the Coasts and Communities IGERT
fellowships, please visit https://www.umb.edu/IGERT
or contact the IGERT program manager, Dr. Maria Petrova, at maria.petrova@umb.edu. Eligible
applicants are encouraged to communicate directly with the participating Ph.D.
programs, which have earlier deadlines (in December 2015 and January 2016),
prior to submitting an IGERT application, the deadline for which is February
15, 2016.
Best regards,
Maria A. Petrova

Three Fully Funded
Masters Positions in Human/Climate Interactions & Forecasting
The Applied Climatology Lab
with Memorial University’s Dept. of Geography is seeking graduate applicants
for multiple MSc and MA positions. Successful candidates will research the
intersection of natural and social sciences, while collaborating with partners
in industry and government. Any students with interests in weather,
climate, and related impacts on society are encouraged to contact Joel
Finnis (jfinnis@mun.ca). All
positions are fully funded, and students can choose from several degree
options (see below).
Current
graduate opportunities
Improving
forecasts of Grand Banks fog (MSc; Geography, Math & Stats, or Env Sci)
Located near the intersection
of the cold Labrador Current and warm Gulf Stream, the Grand Banks of
Newfoundland experience frequent heavy fog events. These pose a hazard to
marine workers and a significant challenge to marine forecasters. We are
seeking an MSc student with interests in weather and marine hazards to test
novel approaches to improving fog forecast reliability. The successful
candidate will have a unique opportunity to work across academic, industry, and
government sectors, collaborating with partners at AMEC Environment and
Infrastructure and Environment Canada. Funded through the Marine Environment
Observation Prediction and Response (MEOPAR) Network.
Forecast attitudes and
application in Atlantic Canada (MA; Geography, Sociology, Anthropology, or Env
Sci)
Even a perfect weather
forecast is only useful if it is i) efficiently communicated and ii) acted
upon. Unfortunately, a range of factors can constrain the effectiveness
of forecasts for particular uses and their uptake and application. These might
include (among others): limited understanding of user needs among
forecasters, problems with spatial and temporal scale, or lack of capacity to
respond to forecasts. The nature and consequences of these factors likely
varies between forecast users (i.e. oil and gas companies vs fish harvesters),
leading to different requirements for and approaches to forecast data across
stakeholder groups. We are seeking an MA candidate with strong
interpersonal skills to examine the constraints on effectiveness of weather forecasting
across industry sectors, and help identify strategies for addressing these
constraints. Work experience and knowledge of the marine sector would be an
asset. Funded through MEOPAR; partners include SafetyNet.
Climate variability perception (MA; Geography, Community Health,
or Sociology)
Climate is never constant; from year to year,
the state of the climate varies from cool to warm, wet to dry, stormy to
sunny. Although these variations are a prominent aspect of research in
the natural sciences, they have largely been ignored in research into social
science aspects of climate change (e.g. climate change perception, or attitudes
towards climate action). The result is a limited understanding of how or
when to best communicate information on variability/change; this can lead to
confusing climate science communication or discussion unusual events (e.g. the
‘polar vortex’ winter of 2013/14). Our project aims to fill this
knowledge gap by assessing ways people discuss variability, and assimilate
experienced variability into a broader understanding of climate change.
Two MAs will assist this research, conducting interviews and focus groups
in selected research communities. Funded through SSHRC.
*** PhD Research Assistant Dam Decision-Making ***
Seeking a highly qualified and motivated student interested in sustainability science research. The student will work with Dr. Sharon Klein and an interdisciplinary team of researchers on a project sponsored by the National Science Foundation to examine the economic, technological, ecological, social, and political trade-offs associated with different kinds of dam decisions in New England. Research will include techno-economic analysis of different hydropower systems and stakeholder-engaged multi-criteria decision analysis, including interviews, focus groups, and surveys with dam decision-makers, as well as computer modeling.
Working under the direction of Dr. Sharon Klein and a cross-disciplinary committee, the ideal candidate’s dissertation work will support stakeholder-driven solutions about dams by integrating research and theory in decision sciences and hydropower with other key concerns including fish passage, sediment transport, water quality, and governance. With a strong foundation in energy economics and multi-criteria decision analysis via Dr. Klein’s influence, the student will engage in interdisciplinary, integrative coursework and research through the Ecology and Environmental Science Program (https://umaine.edu/ecologyandenvironmentalsciences/) or through the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program (http://umaine.edu/soe/graduate-degrees/interdisciplinary-ph-d-program/) at the University of Maine. The student will work closely with researchers at the University of New Hampshire and the University of Rhode Island to integrate multi-criteria decision analysis in ongoing dam-related rese!
arch activities at those institutions.
The research assistantship provides an annual stipend of $22,000 based on working an average of 20 hrs/week year round, a full tuition waiver of up to 18 credits per academic year, and 50% of the cost of UMaine graduate student health insurance. Reappointment as a RA for up to 3 years (ending July 31, 2019) is contingent upon satisfactory performance and the annual renewal of the NSF EPSCoR funding. There is also potential for an additional year of RA support. To apply submit the following by email to Dr. Sharon Klein, sharon.klein@maine.edu: 1) letter stating your qualifications and research interests; 2) CV; 3) unofficial copy of any college/grad transcripts; 4) copy of GRE scores; and 5) contact information (not letters) for three references. Priority given to applications received by 12/15/15. Selected candidates will be asked to apply to the Graduate School by 1/15/16 (https://umaine.edu/graduate/apply/app-info/), for a Fall 2016 start date. There is a possibility of st!
arting earlier in the Spring 2016 semester for motivated candidates. Candidates from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. More information about Dr. Klein’s research and teaching activities can be found here: http://umaine.edu/soe/faculty-and-staff/klein/.
This project is part of The New England Sustainability Consortium, which has launched a new stakeholder-engaged, solutions-focused, interdisciplinary research program focused on the future of dams (https://www.newenglandsustainabilityconsortium.org/dams). Our research draws upon world-class faculty expertise at University of Rhode Island, University of New Hampshire, University of Maine, Rhode Island School of Design, Keene State University, and University of Southern Maine and builds on NEST’s experience in advancing the theory and practice of sustainability science.

About
Tufts UEP Graduate Program
Our MA in Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at
Tufts University is an accredited planning degree. It is distinguished from
traditional planning programs by its strong focus on social justice, on its
integrated approach to social and environmental issues, and on learning through
real-world, hands-on work with long-standing community partners. Planetizen
ranked UEP 3rd in the nation among planning programs without a
Ph.D. That means our focus is exclusively on our MA students and on the
practice of being effective change agents in a complex world.
It’s easy to become jaded looking at the
polarization that exists in national politics, but cities and states are
devising innovative policies across the globe. That makes this an exciting time
to be working at the local and state levels in an array of fields - housing,
food systems, renewable energy, neighborhood school partnerships, public
health, resilient infrastructure development, and new modes of community
development. If you’re interested in pursuing a career in this field where
forward-looking change is not only possible but happening, attend one of our

Middlebury School of the Environment
June 24th to August 5th, 2016
I am pleased to announce that we
are now accepting applications
for the Summer 2016 session of the Middlebury School of the Environment
(MSoE).
Please pass this along to any of
your undergraduate students who may be interested in a for-credit summer
program that combines coursework in environmental studies with leadership and
professional skills training.
The Middlebury School of the
Environment is a six-week, integrated program, running from June 24 to
August 5, 2016, on Middlebury College’s main campus in Vermont.
The program offers nine
semester-hour credits, and financial aid is
available.
Our session last summer was quite
successful, and I’m pleased to say that for this coming summer we will be
offering the same mix of formal coursework and leadership training as in
previous years.
The curriculum involves two different
tracks of study, one on sustainability and understanding place
(taught at a more advanced level and intended for students with previous
coursework in environmental studies) and one on systems thinking and environmental
analysis (taught at a more introductory level).
Each student, regardless of their
track of study, also enrolls in one of four electives,
depending on their interests: Environmental Video Production; Wicked
Environmental Problems; Environmental Pollution; or Religion, Nature,
and Justice.
The co-curricular
program on leadership training focuses on helping students develop the
skills they need as professionals to do something effective with the
information they learn in their studies. For this, the faculty of the MSoE
are joined by leading environmental professionals and experts in a number of
skills that will enhance each student’s ability to be successful no matter what
choose to do with their college education.
Applications for admission and
financial are accepted on a rolling basis until enrollment is complete.
It is recommended that interested students submit their applications
sooner rather than later.
I’m happy to talk to anyone
regarding our program. Feel free to write to me directly – or have your
interested students write to me – with any questions.
Cheers,
Steve Trombulak

Environment Massachusetts is building a clean and renewable future powered by the sun.
We could meet all of America’s energy needs by capturing just a sliver of the virtually limitless and pollution-free energy of the sun. And we're making a lot of progress: in Massachusetts, solar energy has grown more than 200-fold since 2006.
But we’re still getting most of our electricity from dirty fossil fuels, and powerful utility companies are threatening to stop solar in its tracks. So right now, we’re building support for a goal of getting 20% of Massachusetts' electricity from solar by 2025. In order to persuade our governor to go big on solar energy, we’ll mobilize public support, build a powerful coalition of businesses and elected officials, and get the word out in the media.
As an intern with Environment Massachusetts, you’ll push for smart solutions to environmental problems and build the public support it takes to win. You’ll make a real difference on critical issues while developing valuable skills and experience in one of the nation’s leading environmental nonprofits.
We’re hiring interns for the fall and spring semester. The deadline to apply for is Friday, October 2.
Apply today! Visit http://bit.ly/EnvMass-internship to submit your application.

We’re working to stop global warming: We took a big step forward last summer when President Obama directed his Environmental Protection Agency to develop standards that would cut carbon pollution from power plants, the nation’s largest contributors to global warming pollution. This historic step won’t be enough to fully solve the problem, but it’ll be an important start. But standing in the way, at every step, is one of the most powerful special interests in the world: the fossil fuel industry. That’s where we come in. We’re working to rally millions of American citizens, along with local elected officials and other powerful voices to back the President’s plan.
We’re making sure we don’t frack our future: Dirty and dangerous fracking could soon put some of America’s most spectacular places at risk. And we know that this especially destructive method of drilling for gas contaminates water and turns forests and rural landscapes into industrial zones – making nearby families sick and contributing significantly to global warming as well. Now, we’re working to offset the outsized influence of the oil and gas industry and keep our remarkable special places protected.
We’re working to protect our rivers, lakes and streams: To protect our waterways from pollution and destruction we need to crack down on factory farm pollution, sewage and other threats. And we know it won’t be easy because of big opposition from the Farm Bureau, giant agribusiness and others. Now, we’re working to harness grassroots support for clean water and turn it into the political power we need to have a lasting direct impact on our waterways.

We’re working to stop global warming: We took a big step forward last summer when President Obama directed his Environmental Protection Agency to develop standards that would cut carbon pollution from power plants, the nation’s largest contributors to global warming pollution. This historic step won’t be enough to fully solve the problem, but it’ll be an important start. But standing in the way, at every step, is one of the most powerful special interests in the world: the fossil fuel industry. That’s where we come in. We’re working to rally millions of American citizens, along with local elected officials and other powerful voices to back the President’s plan.
We’re making sure we don’t frack our future: Dirty and dangerous fracking could soon put some of America’s most spectacular places at risk. And we know that this especially destructive method of drilling for gas contaminates water and turns forests and rural landscapes into industrial zones – making nearby families sick and contributing significantly to global warming as well. Now, we’re working to offset the outsized influence of the oil and gas industry and keep our remarkable special places protected.
We’re working to protect our rivers, lakes and streams: To protect our waterways from pollution and destruction we need to crack down on factory farm pollution, sewage and other threats. And we know it won’t be easy because of big opposition from the Farm Bureau, giant agribusiness and others. Now, we’re working to harness grassroots support for clean water and turn it into the political power we need to have a lasting direct impact on our waterways.
