Call for Applications: Disaster Resilience Graduate Fellowship

Standard

Graduate Fellowship Poster

The Disaster Resilience Research Network (DRRN) is a new Research Excellence Cluster at UBC, which aims to advance multi-hazard assessment and mitigation in support of inclusive, equitable, and just disaster risk management.

 

DRRN seeking two highly motivated UBC graduate students for its inaugural Disaster Resilience Graduate Fellowship. The fellows will support the DRRN by analyzing the state of disaster research in British Columbia.

 

Two graduate students will be selected: one from the sciences or applied sciences, and the other from the social sciences or humanities. They will work together to conduct a transdisciplinary literature review about disaster preparedness, response, and governance in British Columbia from a hybrid socio-technical perspective. This review will provide a strong foundation to develop research questions and methodologies which can be implemented through external grant applications and will ultimately be revised as a publication in an appropriate transdisciplinary journal.

 

Fellows will also be expected and encouraged to participate in and support network activities, as appropriate.

 

Duration:

  • January – December 2023

Pay and program benefits:

  • $7,500 fellowship, paid bi-weekly
  • Flexible working hours
  • Shared office space

Eligibility and selection criteria:

  • Must be enrolled as a graduate student at UBC for the duration of the position
  • Strong research interest in disaster-related studies
  • Strong research and writing skills
  • Able to work both independently and as a member of a team

To apply, you will need the following materials:

  • Cover letter (1-2 pages) indicating your interest in the position and describing how you meet the selection criteria above
  • Academic CV

Application deadline: Monday, November 14, 2022, 11:59 PM

 

Short-listed candidates will be invited to participate in a short interview over Zoom.

Opportunity for Students to Compete in Hackathon to ReImagine Future of Food

Standard

Hello!

My name is Jasmin Kern, and I am a senior at MIT and the director of the Cultivate Tomorrow Hackathon — the 1st international hackathon focused on cellular agriculture and precision fermentation for the food industry! We are looking for students (undergrad and grad) interested in applying their unique knowledge and skills to revolutionize our food system and build a sustainable future for our planet. All interested students are encouraged to apply regardless of their knowledge of cellular agriculture, as we will provide all necessary education.

Applications close on October 25th, and students are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Students have the option to compete in one of two tracks for a $2000 cash prize:

  1. Track 1: Build an advertising strategy and scientific communication platform for a novel cultured food product with mentoring from a pioneer in one of the industry’s leading start-ups 
  1. Track 2: Create a research proposal and analysis of a potential ingredient, material, or novel technology that can improve the production of a novel cell-cultured or fermented product with mentoring from a leading researcher at one of the industry’s tech start-ups.

The hacking period will take place from January 15 – March 20 (all virtual), and the final event will take place in April. We want to attract as many students from across the US as possible and hope you will forward this event to any mailing lists, departments or other student groups that may be interested in partaking in this event. This is a chance to become immersed in a rapidly growing industry and change the future of food!

Here is our website for more information and application form: https://www.cultivate-tmrw.com/

The Cultivate Tomorrow hackathon is the only student-run organization focused solely on cellular agriculture and cell cultured food. Students compete in teams to tackle some of cellular agriculture’s most pressing problems.
