Beginning Fall 2012, research assistantships are available for students interested in pursuing Ph.D. degrees in LSU’s multi-disciplinary Donald W. Clayton Graduate Program in Engineering Science. Financial support includes a tuition waiver (including non-resident waiver) and stipend for up to four years contingent on satisfactory academic and research performance. Students should have a strong analytical background and a desire to conduct hurricane-related research. At a minimum, students must possess a bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, geography or related field.
Funding opportunities are available for students interested in pursuing hurricane-related research, including computational and statistical analysis of hurricane damage data, building damage visualization, remote sensing damage assessment, and hurricane damage modeling.
The Donald W. Clayton Graduate Program in Engineering Science allows students to pursue graduate study and research in interdisciplinary areas that cross two or more disciplines in different departments or in program areas not currently associated with existing departments. This interdisciplinary program spans the fields of engineering, science, business, and even law. The college accepts qualified students with bachelor's or master's degrees in engineering or a pure or applied science to work toward a Ph.D. in this interdisciplinary program.
Interested students are encouraged to email a letter of interest and resume to Dr. Carol Friedland (friedland@lsu.edu). Fellowship funding through the College of Engineering is also available for outstanding students on a competitive basis. Information about the Engineering Science program is available at http://www.eng.lsu.edu/academics/gradprogs/engrsci/overview.
