Dear Colleagues,

I am in the fortunate and unusual position of having an abundance of funding available for graduate students for the coming years (2 to 3 years us gauranteed in most cases) and am looking to increase our department’s pool of graduate applicants.

Attached is a brief summary of three projects for which I am seeking qualified and interested students. Our department offers MA, MSc, and PhD degrees so I am looking for both senior undergraduates and graduate students completing their Master’s degree. All three projects are federally funded and project #2 (human navigation) has an additional grant application under review. If you or your students have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. If you know of colleagues who might have eligible and interested students please forward the attachment to them.

Best wishes for the holidays,

Scott.
