[Acm] ACM student group: $30, 000 IGERT fellowships at the University of Illinois at Chicago

[Laura Goddeeris]

Greetings,

 

I obtained this address as a contact email for the Fordham University ACM
student group. I wanted to share some information with your group about
$30,000 PhD fellowships we have available at the University of Illinois at
Chicago through our Computational Transportation Science IGERT program. We
are still accepting applications and it would be most appreciated if you
could send this information out via your mailing list, announce it at a
meeting and/or post it. Thanks very much for your help!

 

Best regards,

Laura Goddeeris

OUR PROGRAM
Our IGERT program in Computational Transportation Science (CTS) provides
fellowships to PhD students in several participating academic departments
(computer science, civil and materials engineering, urban planning and
policy, information and decision sciences, and mechanical and industrial
engineering). CTS engages students and faculty from these disciplines in
collaborative research to solve a broad range of transportation problems. By
taking advantage of ubiquitous computing and focusing on the information
aspects of transportation, CTS researchers can improve the efficiency of
day-to-day transportation. Students interested in topics such as large
distributed and mobile systems, wireless and vehicular networking, mobile
peer-to-peer computing, sensor fusion, human-computer interaction, privacy
and information security will find especially interesting applications of
their work to CTS.

FELLOWSHIP BENEFITS
- $30,000 stipend for 2 years (additional support provided beyond 2 years
through students' home departments)
- tuition and fee waivers
- interdisciplinary curriculum and advising
- international research experiences
- industrial internships
- support for research and travel

DEADLINES
We are currently accepting applications for fellowships commencing in Fall
2008. We accept applications on a rolling basis, but you are encouraged to
send us your materials as soon as possible. Detailed application
instructions are available here: http://cts.cs.uic.edu/apply.php. You must
also apply to the PhD program in your chosen department. If their deadline
has passed, please contact us. US citizenship or permanent residency is
required.
