<div dir="ltr">PhD graduate assistantship in Environmental Management<br><br>Applications
are invited for a PhD graduate research assistant in the
interdisciplinary Environmental Management program at Montclair State
University (MSU), Montclair, NJ, USA. The goal of the PhD research will
be to combine computer models of fluid flows and mathematical models of
transport and control to find optimal control strategies for autonomous
ocean vehicles, which will be modeled both as inertial and non-inertial
objects. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation and is
led by Dr. Eric Forgoston (Department of Mathematical Sciences at MSU)
in collaboration with Dr. Lora Billings (Department of Mathematical
Sciences at MSU) and Dr. Philip Yecko (Department of Physics at Cooper
Union, New York City, NY, USA).<br><br>Applicants
who have obtained a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with a strong
background in mathematics, physics, or engineering, and who are
interested in earth and environmental sciences are encouraged to apply.
Applications are welcome from US nationals as well as from overseas
candidates. The PhD research assistantship is held in the
interdisciplinary Environmental Management doctoral program, and
therefore the applicant must fulfill all requirements for acceptance to
the PhD program
(<a href="http://www.montclair.edu/csam/environmental-management-phd/" target="_blank">http://www.montclair.edu/csam/environmental-management-phd/</a>). The PhD
graduate research assistantship provides a stipend and covers the cost
of tuition. Employment and matriculation to the PhD program is expected
to begin in September, 2015 or January, 2016. <p>
Applicants should send a cover letter detailing specific interests in
this research area, a CV, a copy of grade transcripts from any prior
education (BS, MS, or equivalent), and the contact information (name
and email address) of three recommenders. Application materials should be emailed to Dr. Eric Forgoston (<a href="mailto:eric.forgoston@montclair.edu" target="_blank">eric.forgoston@montclair.edu</a>). </p><br><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">---------------------<br>Eric Forgoston<br>Department of Mathematical Sciences<br>Montclair State University<br>Montclair, NJ 07043<br><br></div></div></div>
