$30,000 NSF-IGERT PhD Fellowships Available for Transportation Students at UIC
Prospective transportation engineering students are invited to apply for $30,000 interdisciplinary doctoral fellowships in computational transportation science (CTS) at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Visit http://cts.cs.uic.edu for complete program details and application information.
As a National Science Foundation-funded Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT), CTS engages students and faculty from multiple 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 make an impact on day-to-day transportation. Students interested in topics such as intelligent transportation systems, public transportation, non-motorized transportation and alternative forms of transportation, regional planning, transportation systems analysis, urban travel forecasting, privacy and information security, and socioeconomic and institutional issues will find interesting applications of their work to CTS.
FELLOWSHIP BENEFITS
- $30,000 annual 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 and internships
- Industrial and agency internships
- Support for research and travel
TO APPLY
We are currently accepting applications for fellowships commencing in Fall 2009. We accept applications on a rolling basis, but you are encouraged to send us your materials as soon as possible.
