[ES_JOBS_NET] 8-Week Graduate Research Internship in El Salvador

[Luke Bowman]

Michigan Technological University, the Consortium of Universities for the
Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI), and Lutheran World Relief
in El Salvador are collaborating with other local partners on an
international project funded by the NSF International Research Experiences
for Students (IRES) Program. Funding (travel and stipend) is available for
10 US graduate students to conduct research in El Salvador on "Agricultural
Community Adaptations to Extreme Hydrometeorological Events."
The Summer 2020 (Year 1) cohort focuses on understanding issues of water
availability, gender and power relationships, root causes of vulnerability
within communities, and the installation of hydrometeorological monitoring
equipment. The knowledge gained may provide evidence to support local
partners’ development interventions within target communities, as well as
inform project work in subsequent summer cohorts. Cohorts of 10 new
students will be recruited for Summers 2021 and 2022.


*WHEN & WHERE:*
Students will participate in an 8-week summer research experience in select
communities of El Salvador from June 15 - August 7 (subject to change).

*FUNDING:*
All travel expenses (subject to university and NSF policies) will be
provided and a $2000 stipend to those who complete the experience.

*ELIGIBILITY:*
We seek students with interdisciplinary research interests and social
science backgrounds. Students must be full-time graduate students (incoming
is acceptable) and US citizens or permanent residents. Students should not
have conducted research internationally, but international experience is
fine.

*INTERESTED? More information and application process at:*
www.cuahsi.org/projects/IRES
Application Deadline: 31 January 2020.
Applicants will be notified by February 15, 2020.
