[Human Dimensions of Global Change] : PhD and masters positions - McGill University There are several potential graduate student openings starting the fall of 2015 at the masters or PhD level in my group in the Department of Geography at McGill University. Positions carry 1 to 3 years of funding, depending on level and funding availability. Qualified students will support one of two interdisciplinary research projects in the area of ecosystem services, environmental economics, development, and environmental geography. The two projects are: 1. Ecosystem service benefits to local populations. This project aims to further our understanding of the links between human welfare and ecosystem services through land use and population data in rural China. We aim to test new methods for capturing environmental dependencies through household surveys, land use data and models of ecosystem service flows. 2. Linking grazing institutions, household livelihoods and locust outbreaks to regional economies. This project researches the feedbacks among locusts, livestock, nutrients, and people in China and Australia. These regions are socio-politically disparate and allow the opportunity to investigate how property rights regimes may affect the adaptive capacity of societies to respond to shocks like locust outbreaks in social-ecological systems. In either project, students will be expected to contribute to methodological and empirical advances in analysis and data collection, and international data collection in challenging field settings is likely. Experience in the following may be an asset: household data collection, econometric/statistical data analysis, spatial analysis, working in low-income settings, knowledge of Mandarin Chinese, and knowledge of China. At the PhD level preference will be given to students already holding a master's degree and who have published. Interested candidates should email their CV, transcripts, and a short description of their interests to brian.e.robinson@mcgill.ca. Only short-listed candidates will be contacted. Exceptional international applicants (from outside Canada) may be considered for a competitive tuition reduction fellowship. Information about the department and the admissions process can be found at http://www.mcgill.ca/geography. The department's application deadline is January 31, 2015. McGill University, consistently ranked among the top universities in the world, is located in Montreal, Quebec, one of the most unique cities in North America. The Department of Geography is in the Faculty of Science, and has collaborative engagements with the McGill School of the environment and many other departments across the university. ------------------------------------------- Brian Robinson McGill University brian.e.robinson@mcgill.ca -- 煞然劃入夜空我內心默靜停歇感動那聲音的振動心弦為之共鳴天使悄悄進入哥帝氏區域琴激的血液遍布周身 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 140.112.66.44 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/studyabroad/M.1421230387.A.E50.html
