Graduate Student Traineeship

Auburn University seeks M.S. and Ph.D. students to apply for the newly funded $3M NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Climate Resilience Program.  Domestic/permanent resident graduate students applying to Auburn can seek project support for up to two years ($34,500 stipend/yr and tuition/fees paid) with the remaining time in their degree program supported by their home department.  Additionally, international students and students already supported by the university can apply as non-funded Trainees still benefiting from the innovative interdisciplinary project. We seek excellent students that want to help make the southeastern United States (SEUS) more resilient to climate change related hazards through conducting interdisciplinary research working with and communicating to both stakeholders and the public.  Auburn University programs associated with the NRT include the Departments of Geosciences, Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences, Rural Sociology, the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, Biosystems Engineering, and the Earth System Science Ph.D. Program. Please go to https://aub.ie/NRT to learn more about the project and to apply.  Applications are due on March 15, 2020. Students must be accepted to an Auburn University M.S. or Ph.D. program and the graduate school to be qualified to be an NRT Trainee.
