Marine Institute SMART Research Vessel Bursaries 2020 The Marine Institute in collaboration with the Strategic Marine Alliance for Research and Training (SMART) is offering 22 bursaries on dedicated FEAS surveys in 2020 on the Celtic Explorer and Celtic Voyager. Successful applicants will receive a “Student at Sea Bursary” at a fixed rate of €95 per survey night. Participants will receive hands on training in data collection and sampling techniques, be fully integrated into the survey work programme and make an important contribution to achieving the survey goals. In so doing they gain valuable sea going experience and assist the Marine Institute in building the necessary capacity for offshore research and monitoring. Surveys addressed by the bursaries include:

Esri Ireland Graduate Programme 2020
Major Announcement Launching the Esri Ireland Graduate Programme 2020 We are delighted to announce the launch of the first ever Esri Ireland Graduate Programme; the first programme of its kind dedicated to the GeoSpatial community in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Our Graduate Programme runs for 18 months where Graduates will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in all things Esri & GIS and gain invaluable experience across both our Irish & UK businesses. Our Graduate Programme has been specifically designed to help current and future decision makers develop and evolve their knowledge and understanding of the influence and impact of location, place and geography on the decisions we make in business. This is a fantastic opportunity for graduates to gain experience in one of the #BestWorkplaces in Ireland for four years running. At Esri Ireland we are committed to fostering talent and nurturing our next generation of decision-makers. Through our ArcGIS for Schools Initiative, launched in November 2018 and through our partnerships with universities in Ireland & Northern Ireland, we are already seeing very positive outcomes. Students at grass-roots, secondary school & universities are adopting #TheScienceofWhere ethos and mindset. Although this initiative is brand new, we are committed to growing our Graduate Programme over the long-term. We understand that Third Level Universities and Colleges have a key role to play in spreading awareness of what the program has to offer and the opportunity it represents to kick start a graduate’s career with the global leader in GIS technology. If you would like to find out more information about our program and the application process for students, visit our website. Alternatively, we are available to come and meet with your Geography Departments and Undergrads to walk through the programme in more detail. To schedule a date and time to discuss our programme in more detail please contact [email protected] or [email protected].

October 2020 - September 2021 www.chester.ac.uk/pg/floodrisk Details: The Department of Geography and International Development at the University of Chester is offering a new Masters programme in Flood Risk Assessment, Modelling and Engineering (FRAME). The FRAME Masters programme is designed to enable participants to stay in employment whilst pursuing postgraduate study through a delivery model that involves a combination of classroom-based activities, fieldwork (virtual, local and international), online delivery and engagement with flood practitioners. The programme utilises the latest innovative technologies, including VR/AR, drone mapping and virtual fieldwork. Key modules focus on flood modelling and GIS, urban drainage design and engineering, natural flood management and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), resilience and adaptation and risk communication. The course has been co-designed with flood risk practitioners and offers a flexible, applied approach to acquiring a postgraduate qualification. The use of the latest flood mapping techniques, modelling, laboratory sessions and fieldwork engagement enable the development of practical and applied skills in the field of flood risk management. Contact: For further information and to enrol on the programme for an October 2020 start, please visit our website: http://www.chester.ac.uk/pg/floodrisk, or contact the Programme Leader, Dr Servel Miller ([email protected]). Yours sincerely, Dr Servel Miller Programme Leader, MSc Flood Risk Assessment, Modelling and Engineering We are looking for a motivated team of students to support the new Ozarks Sustainability Initiative in the Department of Geography, Geology, and Planning at Missouri State University. This program can provide education and research opportunities for graduate students interested in range of fields. We are particularly interested in students that want to use geospatial/UAV technology and/or innovative field work to address environmental and social problems.
Graduate students can work in the following research areas for their thesis projects, some of which are being funded by the US Forest Service, US Environmental Protection Agency, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and local governments: 1) Environmental history and management of forests 2) Historical mining impacts on river ecosystems 3) Watershed assessment and planning 4) Sustainable tourism development 5) Cultural heritage preservation 6) Environmental planning and community development 7) Geological and Climate change effects on water resources 8) Hydrological and Water quality monitoring 9) Fluvial geomorphology of Ozark Rivers 10) Public perceptions and attitudes about water resources Graduate Assistantship Funding in teaching and research are available within tracks in geography, planning, geospatial science and geology in the Department of Geography, Geology, and Planning and Ozarks Environmental and Water Resources Institute (OEWRI) in Springfield. Assistantships include a stipend of $11,175 to $13,600 per year with full tuition remission for both in- and out-of-state students.
