PhD Student Opportunity at UVA

We have an opening for a PhD student who is interested in working with laser based systems to explore turbulence in open channel flow. Of particular interest are how the microtopography of the bed surface alters the magnitude and structure of turbulence within the bottom boundary layer, and how these hydrodynamic processes affect pollutant and nutrient fluxes at the sediment-water interface.

This is a funded project starting in January, 2012. The student will be enrolled in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and will be co-advised by Joanna Crowe Curran in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Matt Reidenbach in the Department of Environmental Sciences. The research assistantship includes a 12-month stipend, health insurance, and tuition. The ideal candidate will begin in January 2012, but a later start date may be possible.

DEADLINE: Rolling

National Geographic ( nationalgeographic.com ) provides
funding to support critical scientific research, geographic ex-
ploration, and environmental and cultural conservation worldwide.

The National Geographic Society/Waitt Grants Program funds proj-
ects that require venture capital, supporting exceptional proj-
ects while foregoing a time-consuming peer-review process. NGS/
Waitt grants are designed to fund "proof of concept" research for
applicants at an earlier stage in their careers than other NGS
grant programs. Special emphasis is placed on expedited grant
processing and turnaround. The selection committee endeavors to
have funding decisions made within eight weeks of application
submission.

Funding is not restricted to United States citizens. Applicants
planning work in foreign countries should include at least one
local collaborator as part of their research teams. The selec-
tion committee will not consider applications seeking support
solely for laboratory work or archival research. This grant prog-
ram does not pay educational tuition, nor does it offer scholar-

Student Intern Program
The New Jersey Geological Survey (NJGS) is soliciting for unpaid volunteer student interns to work on a wide variety of projects. Many of these projects could be adapted to term paper topics. All projects will provide valuable hands-on experience. Examples of current projects that could benefit from intern involvement are:

Stratigraphy of glacial materials in buried valleys
GIS mapping of aquifer recharge areas
GIS digital geologic mapping
Analysis of pollution-site geophysical data
Offshore Research
Interns should be college juniors or seniors in, or graduates of geological sciences, water resources, and geography programs. Most of the work will be in the NJGS offices in Trenton, but some could take place elsewhere. The NJGS is a regulatory-support and research organization in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
