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.

The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) today announced the opening of its
2012 Scholarship Program. Students studying geospatial intelligence or a related field are
encouraged to submit their applications by the April 20 DEADLINE.
Graduating high school seniors, undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students can download applications
here: scholarships Scholarship winners will be announced and recognized during
the GEOINT 2012 Symposium on Oct. 8-11, in Orlando Fla.
"Supporting student education and research with USGIF scholarships helps expand the frontier of our
geospatial capabilities. Scholarship recipients represent a broad array of geospatial interests, including
humanitarian operations, natural disaster preparation and response, epidemiology, transnational river
politics, planetary applications, conflict along borders and modeling of river water quality," said USGIF
Academic Director Dr. Max Baber. "All of these interests exist within the broader definition of national
security, so this represents a great opportunity for innovative students to be recognized and supported for
their efforts."
Last year the Foundation awarded $94,000 to 20 recipients and plans to award $100,000 for the 2012 program.
Five Ph.D. candidates, eight master's students, five undergraduates and two graduating high school seniors
received scholarships from the 2011 program. High school recipients received $2,000 scholarships, and all
others received $5,000 scholarships. Since 2004, USGIF has donated $480,000 to promising students in the
geospatial intelligence field.
In an effort to help further the advancement of the geospatial tradecraft, USGIF is dedicated to assist
promising students interested in the geospatial sciences with its scholarship awards. Students studying in
fields such as geography, political science, physics, computer science, engineering, biology, anthropology,
sociology or any fields in the natural and social sciences are encouraged to apply. Through the USGIF
Scholarship Program, the Foundation strives to communicate to students the broadness and power of GEOINT as
it serves as a great source for national, global and human security. By advancing education within the
tradecraft, the Foundation is committed to cultivating a generation of synthesizers who can take data and
derive actionable knowledge from it. The USGIF Scholarship Program hopes to inspire students who are
interested in all that GEOINT has to offer to invest their futures in this incredibly exciting and relevant
field of study.
USGIF is a non-profit educational foundation dedicated to promoting the geospatial intelligence tradecraft
and developing a stronger GEOINT Community with government, industry, academia, professional organizations
and individuals whose mission is the development and application of geospatial intelligence to address
national security challenges. For more information, please visit www.USGIF.org

Applications Invited for National Geographic Society/Waitt Grants Program
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-
ships or fellowships of any kind.
Applicants are not required to have advanced degrees to be eli-
gible for funding, though they will be required to show a com-
mensurate level of expertise and experience. Applicants must have
an affiliation with an educational organization or other
institution.
National Geographic Society/Waitt grants are awarded on a rolling
basis and range from U.S. $5,000 to $15,000 each. Approximately a
hundred grants are made each year.
Grant recipients are expected to provide the National Geographic
Society with rights of first refusal for popular publication of
their findings.
Visit the National Geographic Web site for complete program
guidelines.

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.
