[iris-bulk] IIASA 2009 Young Scientists Summer - Program Now Open

[IRIS]

The U.S. National Member Organization for the International Institute  
for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) is offering three month  
fellowships in the 2009 IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP).  
Located just outside Vienna, Austria, IIASA conducts inter- 
disciplinary scientific studies in the context of global  
environmental, economic, technological and social change.

Earth science students with interests extending to applications of  
their research to reduce risk from geophysical hazards may find  
opportunities to work with IIASA’s Disasters and Development Research  
Group. As part of the Institute’s Risk and Vulnerability Program, this  
Group carries out applied, interdisciplinary research for the purpose  
of reducing the vulnerability of developing and transition countries  
to the economic impacts of extreme events, including tsunamis,  
earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions.

Applications will be accepted until January 19. Information about  
IIASA research is available their web site, http://www.iiasa.ac.at/.  
Information about the YSSP is available from the web site of the U.S.  
National Member Organization, http://www7.nationalacademies.org/usnc-iiasa/ 
, or by contacting Maggie Gould Collins (Program Director, US NMO  
Committee for IIASA, mcollins at nas.edu) or Tanja Huber (YSSP  
Coordinator, IIASA, ysspsupport at iiasa.ac.at).
