This isn't spcifically geared toward Native Americans, but minorities
and women are encouraged to apply for these fellowships. UC Santa
Barbara was recently rated No. 1 in the field of Ecology/Environment
by Science Watch, based on the impact of their research, compared with
over 100 US private and public universities.

GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS IN ECOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY AT U.C. SANTA BARBARA

The Departments of Biological Sciences and Geography at the University of
California, Santa Barbara invite applications for fellowships in a new Ph.D.
program in The Dynamics of Spatially Structured Ecological Systems.
The program provides training in modeling and experimental approaches and
combines the traditional ecological emphasis on dynamic
processes with geography's focus on analysis of spatial pattern. Each
student will begin by taking a sequence of graduate courses in ecology
and geography, tailored to his/her background, and then will pursue
dissertation research in a primary area of interest. The program is
supported by 5-year NSF Research Training Grant and Graduate Research
Training awards. Students in good standing will receive stipends for three
years and will be supported by TA- and RA-ships in the remaining years.
Support for research and related travel is also available. Faculty
participants are S. Cooper, S. Gaines, S. Holbrook, J. Melack, W. Murdoch,
R. Nisbet, R. Schmitt and A. Stewart-Oaten in the Biological Sciences
Department, and F. Davis, J. Dozier, M. Goodchild, and D. Siegel
in the Geography Department. We especially encourage applications
from women and individuals from under-represented groups. Prospective
students should send standard applications to either the Biological
Sciences or Geography Departments, U.C. Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara,
CA 93106, and a separate letter indicating interest in the program
to the RTG Program Coordinator, Biological Sciences Dept., UCSB.
