The Informatics PhD program with an emphasis in Ecological and Environmental Informatics at Northern Arizona University (https://nau.edu/) integrates informatics (data science, computing, statistical analysis, synthesis, modeling) ecology, climate science,
and other environmental science disciplines to address pressing environmental issues. Students in this program can opt to participate in the T3 option (https://ecoinfo.nau.edu/index.php/nrt/), which aims to train students in team science and communication
as they gain expertise in Ecological and Environmental Informatics. Our goal is to prepare students for a diverse range of career paths.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">

Exceptional applicants will receive 1- to 2-year fellowships ($30,000/year stipend, tuition benefits, health insurance); further funding is available via faculty grants (https://ecoinfo.nau.edu/index.php/openings/) and/or teaching assistantships. Early applicants
may be eligible for additional funding through NAU’s Presidential Fellowship (https://ecoinfo.nau.edu/index.php/presidential-fellowship/), which provides supplemental funding for exceptional candidates. Applications are due January 1, 2020; prospective students
should apply to the Informatics and Computing (INF) program through NAU’s graduate school (https://www.applyweb.com/northazg/index.ftl), and explicitly indicate interest in the EEI
