[Sinha, Gaurav]

PhD Excellence Program at the University at Buffalo

This fall, the University at Buffalo, SUNY introduced a new initiative called the PhD Excellence Initiative to strengthen the quality of students in our PhD programs and to increase their success rates. The new scheme includes the following components:

  1.  Five year funding packages;
  2.  Minimum salaries starting at $20,800;
  3.  Full tuition and fee waivers;
  4.  Minimum teaching obligations with teaching relief for two of the five years.

Top students will be nominated for a Presidential fellowship, which increases the stipend by an additional $7,500 if awarded. Domestic students who meet diversity criteria can also be recruited via the Schomburg program. More information can be found on our website: www.buffalo.edu/cas/geography/about-us/admissions.html<http://www.buffalo.edu/cas/geography/about-us/admissions.html>

Review of applications will begin on December 1st. We are seeking applicants in all of our research clusters: GIS, Urban and regional studies, Earth systems science, Economic geography and development, and Health geography.

 Appreciate if you could help circulate the information of this exciting program!
