Ralph J. & Carol M. Cicerone Graduate Fellowship

Ralph J. & Carol M. Cicerone

The Cicerone Fellowship will allow an upper-level ESS doctoral student to broaden his or her training by providing support for one quarter. The student is expected to propose research that goes beyond that being done by his or her advisor, and that involves significant input from a secondary adviser.

Opportunity Information
Deadline: 
Thursday, June 30, 2011
Qualifications: 

ESS doctoral students in good standing. The students should already be well along the path to completing his or her doctoral work. The application requires concurrence from the primary advisor that the proposed work will strengthen and complement the student's dissertation work. 

Funding Provided: 

Support for one quarter

Application Method: 

Candidates will submit a 1-page proposal describing the research plan and the expected contribution to their doctoral dissertation. The plan should be developed in consultation with the student's primary ESS advisor and a second faculty member. It must clearly identify the alternate faculty research group and include the concurrence of that faculty member that resources (space, time, etc) are available. 

Applications are due by email to Morgan Sibley, by 5:00 p.m., June 30, 2011
