PhD Fellowship

The School of Renewable Natural Resources at Louisiana State University seeks an outstanding student for a Board of Regents PhD fellowship to begin in Fall 2018. The fellowship pays 30K/year for four years and includes a tuition waiver. Active research programs in the School include a diverse array of topics, such as avian ecology, conservation genetics, wetlands ecology, fisheries, and forestry. Interested students should visit the School’s website (http://www.rnr.lsu.edu/) to identify and contact a professor with similar research interests. If the professor agrees to act as their PhD advisor, prospective students may then submit their application to the selection committee chair, Dr. Sabrina Taylor (staylor at lsu.edu). Application materials must identify the prospective PhD advisor and include a CV, transcripts, three letters of reference, GRE scores, and a written statement describing the student’s motivation for graduate study. Applicants must be US citizens/residents. All qualified U.S. citizens and residents who apply before Mar 31, 2018 will be considered for the 2018/2019 academic year. Prospective students who apply after Mar 31 will be considered only if a sufficient number of qualified students have not yet applied. Fellowship offers will be made by April 15, 2018 and students who accept will then be asked to apply to the LSU Graduate School. LSU is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.
