Minority Undergraduate Student Research Training Opportunity Department of Anthropology
Posted on: 04/15/2009
The Department of Anthropology at The Ohio State University is offering Undergraduate Student Research Training positions for minority students who have traditionally been underrepresented in the social sciences. The trainee position offers a unique opportunity for students to get intensive training and mentoring in the interdisciplinary study of complex social-ecological systems.
The interdisciplinary study of complex social-ecological systems is funded by a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award to Dr. Mark Moritz, Assistant Professor. The study examines how mobile pastoralists in the Logone floodplain in the Far North Province of Cameroon coordinate their movements to avoid conflict and overgrazing in a land tenure system that is commonly described as open access, a situation generally regarded as leading to a tragedy of the commons.
Application deadline is April 15, 2009. For more information, please contact Dr. Mark Moritz, Department of Anthropology, The Ohio State University, 4034 Smith Laboratory, 174 W. 18th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210-1106. For more information call me at +1 (614) 247-7426 or send me an email at moritz.42@osu.edu or mark.moritz@gmail.com.
