Objet : PhD Fellowships/Assistantships
Fellowships/assistantships are available for self-motivated PhD students to
conduct innovative and high-impact research at the Center for Systems
Integration and Sustainability (CSIS) at Michigan State University
(http://csis.msu.edu).
Research topics may include telecoupling (socioeconomic- environmental
interactions over distances, through means such as flows of ecosystem
services, trade of goods and services, globalization, migration, species
invasion, disease spread, and tourism,
telecoupling<http://www.csis.msu.edu/telecoupling>.org);.org), sustainability
science, UN Sustainable Development Goals, coupled human and natural
systems, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, human well-being,
forest and landscape ecology, global change, systems integration (e.g.,
integration of ecology with social sciences and policy; food-energy-water
nexus), wildlife ecology and conservation (e.g., giant pandas in China),
land change science, and systems modeling and simulation (e.g., agent-based
modeling). Studies on these topics by faculty and students at CSIS have been
published in journals such as Science, Nature, and PNAS. With flexible start
dates (e.g., spring, summer or fall of 2020), successful candidates can
build on previous studies and explore new frontiers.
Application materials include: (1) letter of application, (2) CV or resume,
(3) academic statement, (4) personal statement, (5) transcripts, (6) GRE
scores, (7) TOEFL scores (for non-native English speakers only), (8) list of

representative publications if any. Unofficial copies of GRE, TOEFL and
transcripts are OK initially. Applicants are encouraged to submit their
application materials as soon as possible. Applications and questions about
these opportunities should be emailed to:
