Graduate student opportunities in sea ice geophysics at University of Alaska Fairbanks

We are looking to fill two graduate student positions (applicants for Ph.D. program preferred, but strong applications for M.S. program will be considered) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks:

(1) Ph.D. graduate student support available for a study linking sea-ice transport properties (dielectric properties, permeability, etc.) to ice microstructure in an interdisciplinary project with colleagues at the University of Utah and in New Zealand, with direct applications  for remote sensing and the development of new sensor systems for polar observing networks, available starting in summer of 2010. Background in (geo)physics, engineering, chemistry or material science helpful.

(2) Ph.D. graduate student support as part of the SIZONet project; SIZONet examines changes in Alaska's sea ice cover as seen from  the perspective of geophysicists and local, indigenous ice experts. By synthesizing these perspectives we hope to provide helpful input to coastal communities adapting to environmental and socio-economic change. The project provides funding support for at least three years, background in the physical-environmental sciences or engineering combined with an ability to work in an interdisciplinary setting is helpful.
