[ES_JOBS_NET] Accepting applications for MS and PhD students to join the Convergent Arctic Research Perspectives and Education (CARPE) NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program at the University of New Hampshire

[Alexandra Contosta]

The Convergent Arctic Research Perspectives and Education (CARPE) NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program (PI Ruth Varner) at the University of New Hampshire is accepting applications for Fall 2024.

CARPE’s goal is to enhance graduate education by using convergence research and decolonizing scientific approaches to tackle complex socio-ecological problems associated with changing seasonality in the Arctic. The CARPE program enables students to bring their discipline-specific knowledge to interdisciplinary teams in order to identify and address grand challenges posed by a changing climate. Courses provide a foundational knowledge about the changing Arctic, skills in collecting and analyzing environmental and sociological field data in cold regions, decolonizing approaches to science and reciprocity in conducting research on Indigenous lands, and an opportunity to co-develop and conduct team convergent research projects. Additional training includes a trip to Mt. Washington (on a Snowcat in winter!), a summer retreat to the Shoals Marine Lab on Appledore Island, and a workshop in Alaska to learn about engaging Arctic communities. Students enrolled in CARPE courses will be eligible to apply for CARPE 12-month fellowships to support tuition and stipend. This is an excellent opportunity for students seeking to expand their experience in team research through deep integration across disciplines driven by specific and compelling societal concerns.

CARPE is funded by the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship program (NSF #2125868)

Please visit the CARPE website (https://marine.unh.edu/carpe-nrt) or email carpe-nrt at unh.edu to learn more. CARPE applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning February 1, 2024. Student should first apply to a Master’s or PhD program through the UNH Graduate School (https://gradschool.unh.edu/), preferably by January 15, 2024.
