THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA
announces the availability of National Science
Foundation-sponsored
GRADUATE RESEARCH TRAINEESHIPS
FOR
PARTICULATE SYSTEMS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
 
Environmental research in the physical and
mathematical sciences, geoscience, and engineering
(such as explorations of global warming, acid
rain, ozone depletion, indoor air quality, radon
inhalation, storage of nuclear wastes in
repositories and their possible leaching and
hydrogeological transport, combustion and
atmospheric chemistry) is an area of significant
national and international interest.   Scientific
advancements in the state of knowledge and
technology development require comprehensive
multidisciplinary education and research.
Students  supported with NSF/MU Graduate Research
Traineeships in Particulate Systems Science and
Engineering will pursue MS and/or PhD degrees in
MU's Engineering or Arts & Science Colleges.
Participating faculty are in Chemical, Civil,
Mechanical, and Nuclear Engineering, and in
Atmospheric Science, Chemistry, and Physics.
Experimental research projects undertaken by
Trainees will include  characterizations and
measurements of particle-vapor (gases) and
particle-particle interactions, dry and wet
deposition of particles and gases, trace gas
emissions and transformations, and radiative
properties of particles.  Theoretical and
computationally intensive projects will focus on
sulfur chemistry, particle dynamics, and general
atmospheric circulation modelling.  As part of the
Trainee's professional development experience,
internships can be facilitated for students
interested in working in national laboratories and
industrial research centers in the United States,
and possibly at universities and laboratories
abroad.
     NSF/MU Graduate Research Trainees will be
selected on the basis of merit. Within these
guidelines, applications are encouraged by
students from groups underrepresented in the
sciences and engineering.
 
Applicants for the NSF/MU Graduate Reserach
Traineeeships  must:
     -    have an excellent scholastic record.
     -    expect to receive (or have received) a
bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant
area of science, mathematics, or
engineering.
     -    intend to complete the PhD and to pursue
an academic career.
     -    be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
 
Benefits of Traineeship support include:
     -    funding for 3 to 5 years, based upon
continuing satisfactory  academic
performance.
     -    a stipend of $14,000 per year, plus
tuition and fees paid.
     -    January 1995 or September 1995
admission.
 
Students interested in applying should:
     -    contact the Graduate Research
Traineeship director at the address below
for further information and application
materials.
