Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Research on Western
Public Lands
Announcing a new fellowship program to support undergraduate interdisciplinary research projects on western public lands. Climate change, population growth, land use change and intensification of natural resource extraction are important drivers that will influence the resilience of western public lands today and into the future. Addressing these complex management issues requires an interdisciplinary approach to these problems. Fellowships will be awarded to 3 undergraduate students to conduct honors thesis projects on western public lands issues. Projects that are grounded in science, regulatory processes and land management policy and planning issues will be considered for funding. Undergraduates will be mentored by CU faculty with encouragement to seek out collaborations with industry and government agency experts in the fields of cultural and natural resource management. Eligibility: Must be an undergraduate with a minimum GPA of 3.3. Preference will be given to students from the departments of Anthropology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Environmental Studies, Geography or Geology who have a demonstrated interest in cultural or natural resource management or ecosystem management. All research must be presented in an undergraduate honors thesis within a CU department. The selection committee will seek to choose students across a range of majors and disciplines. Undergraduate fellows will receive $3,000 each to conduct their research project. An additional amount (~$1000) will be awarded to send the fellows to a professional conference to present their findings. Requirements: Research by the fellows will begin in the spring 2015 semester with the honors thesis defense scheduled for Fall 2015 or Spring 2016. Fellows will be required to meet regularly not only with their departmental thesis advisor but also with the other research fellows to enhance opportunities for collaborative and synergistic research.
