About ERIE
The Ecosystem Restoration through Interdisciplinary Exchange (ERIE)
initiative is a collection of academic programs and research projects
designed to advance the science, engineering, and policy of ecosystem
restoration, and contribute to the ecological recovery of the Great
Lakes and Western New York. ERIE participants include scholars from
numerous academic departments at the University at Buffalo, from
neighboring Buffalo State College and Niagara University, and from McMaster University, the University of Waterloo, and the University of
Windsor.
As the ERIE project unfolds, additional information will be forthcoming
regarding ERIE projects and partnerships with external government
agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and Tribal environmental
programs. In the meantime, we encourage eligible students (U.S. citizen
and permanent residents) with excellent academic records and relevant
research interests to apply for ERIE doctoral traineeships through the
National Science Foundation Integrative Graduate Education and Research
Traineeship (IGERT) program (link to application information). In
addition to the ERIE IGERT traineeships, a variety of other student
opportunities are available through the participating academic
departments. For more information, please e-mail contact the ERIE
Director, Dr. Alan Rabideau.
