The University of Western Ontario Department of History, in association with NiCHE: Network in Canadian History & Environment, is offering a special funding opportunity for new Ph.D. students in Environmental History. 

Two successful candidates will receive a full funding package from UWO plus $5,000/year from NiCHE, for four years beginning in fall 2010. The students will be supervised by one of the department’s three environmental historians – Alan MacEachern, Pierre Reynard, or William J. Turkel – and will work with NICHE in promoting the mobilization and dissemination of environmental history research in Canada. The students will be encouraged during their first year of doctoral study to participate in the UWO Environment & Sustainability Collaborative Research Program, as a value-added component to their Ph.D. in History.
