"Polar Environmental Change
Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire

Dartmouth is seeking applicants for the National Science Foundation  (NSF) Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT)  program in Polar Environmental Change. The program is based in Hanover,  New Hampshire.

Polar systems are at the forefront of global change science research.  IGERT is an interdisciplinary graduate program in polar sciences and  engineering that merges expertise and facilities from science and  engineering departments at Dartmouth College with the U.S. Army Cold  Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), creating one of the  premier centers of scientific expertise in polar research. The  investment of Dartmouth's Dickey Center for International Understanding  and its Institute of Arctic Studies in forming relationships with  Greenlandic institutions and Inuit leaders provides the opportunity for  intensive field training in Greenland where science, policy, and  indigenous issues of the north can be explored. Collectively these  experiences provide rigorous training in polar and related sciences and  produce scientists with an advanced knowledge of the role of science in  policy and the ethics of conducting research with indigenous people.

Research training is coupled with a coordinated core curriculum that  focuses on three components of arctic or Antarctic systems responding to  rapid change in climate:

- The cryosphere - glacial ice, snow, and sea ice systems;
- Terrestrial ecosystems and biogeochemical linkages between the  soil, plant, and animal system; and
- Human systems - the process of policy making in political and  social systems where Western science and traditional knowledge  provide information.

Applicants should visit the Dartmouth IGERT website first for  information on participating departments, requirements, and application  procedures: www.dartmouth.edu/~igert/.

The Dartmouth IGERT encourages applications from minorities, women, and  individuals with disabilities. They especially seek to engage with  Native American students, as is Dartmouth's tradition, by offering a  graduate science program that is relevant to their individual needs and  those of their communities.
