PhD students that haven’t yet submitted their 2010 PERISHIP applications, should clear their slate this weekend. The deadline to apply for the Dissertation Fellowship Program in Hazards, Risks, and Disasters is Monday, February 1, at 5 p.m. EST.
PhD students will receive up to $10,000 to support interdisciplinary dissertation work courtesy of the program, which assists top scholars in completing hazards dissertation work in natural and physical sciences, social and behavioral sciences, and engineering, and in interdisciplinary programs such as environmental studies.
The PERISHIP Fellowship is administered by a partnership between the Natural Hazards Center and the Public Entity Risk Institute (PERI) with funding from Swiss Re and the National Science Foundation. For more information on the program and application guidelines, visit the PERISHIP website.
