<b>Doctoral Degree Programme in Integrated Management of Water, Soil and Waste</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
A Joint Degree Programme by the United Nations University and Technische Universität Dresden</div>
<br /><div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
<b>BACKGROUND</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
United Nations University (UNU) was established in 1973 and currently it is comprised of over 15 Research Institutes and Programmes in 13 countries around the world. Even though postgraduate training was a huge part of UNU’s history, it did not offer any complete degree programs until recently. In 2009 the UN General Assembly authorized UNU to grant and confer postgraduate degrees. The Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) is one of the top universities in Europe: strong in research and considered first-rate with respect to the range and the quality of the study programmes it offers. As a modern comprehensive, multi-discipline university and with its 14 faculties it has a broad and diverse scientific spectrum. The large campus family of the TU Dresden is comprised of 37,000 students and approximately 7,900 employees.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
The joint doctoral degree programmes established at the United Nations University Institute for the Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES) and the Faculty of Environmental Sciences at TUD is the latest among the very few doctoral programs UNU currently offers. The joint Doctoral programme in “Integrated Management of Water, Soil and Waste” by UNU and TUD is planned to start in October 2014.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
<b>OBJECTIVE</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
The main objective of the Doctoral programme is to provide graduate students with detailed knowledge, critical understanding, strategies and tools to take an interdisciplinary and integrated approach towards the management of water, soil and waste. The joint Doctoral programme aims at creating a new generation of environmental scientists, engineers and managers to conduct, promote and provide guidance on the sustainable management of water, soil and waste. These resources and their sustainable management are of concern to the United Nations and its member states, particularly to developing countries and emerging economies.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">

<b>ABOUT THE PROGRAMME</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
Considering that the theme of the joint Doctoral programme is new and unique in the academic world, prospective students are expected to come from a variety of backgrounds. To ensure that the students have an evenly-matched starting point, and also to introduce the basic concepts of the nexus of water, soil and waste, the programme comprises 35 course credits in addition to 175 dissertation credits. This total of 210 credits spans over 7 semesters. The credits are defined in terms of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). All coursework is science-based and all courses require basic knowledge in physics, chemistry and mathematics at undergraduate level. In addition, the courses will also require basic knowledge in social sciences. In line with UNU-FLORES’ research agenda, research topics for dissertations will be focused on solving current challenges related to the nexus of water, soil and waste. Courses will be offered by academic staff at both universities. Doctoral dissertations will also be co-supervised by advisors from both universities.</div>

along with our partners at CSTE and CDC, are pleased to announce a wonderful
fellowship opportunity for your students. The Applied Epidemiology
Fellowship Program is now accepting applications! This program, which trains
recent graduates in the field of applied epidemiology, is now entering into its
eleventh year. During a two-year assignment, participating fellows develop
applied epidemiologic skills during a high quality, mentored training
experience in order to prepare them for a long-term career at the state or
local level. While the program provides rigorous training for its participants,
it is also designed with flexibility in order to meet the particular interests
of the fellows. The fellowship program is designed for recent master or
doctoral level graduates in epidemiology or a related field who are interested
in the practice of public health at the state or local level.<br />
<br />
Fellows are carefully matched to their host agencies based on their own career
interests and available opportunities of the host agencies and, upon placement,
will develop a comprehensive set of core skills through applied
competency-based training and experiences.<br />
<br />
The deadline to submit applications is <strong>February 1, 2013</strong>. All
application materials must be received by the deadline to be considered for
acceptance. Incomplete applications or applications received after this
deadline will not be considered.<br />
