Graduate applications Invited to Montana State: MA and PhD programs in Environmental History and Science and Technology

The Department of History & Philosophy at Montana State University in Bozeman welcomes applications for its MA and PhD programs in Environmental History and Science and Technology. The department has a strong concentration of prominent scholars working in these fields. Brett Walker is a recent Guggenheim Fellow and winner of the 2011 ASEH George Perkins Marsh best book award for Toxic Archipelago. Tim LeCain won the same ASEH best-book prize in 2010 for Mass Destruction and was a 2011-12 Senior Fellow at the Rachel Carson Center in Münich. Robert Rydell is the world's leading expert on Worlds Fairs. Michael Reidy is a well-known historian of British science and technology currently completing a book on mountaineering. The department also is home to the Wallace Stegner Chair which will be occupied by Mark Fiege in the spring of 2015. The MA and PhD in Environmental History provide world-class instruction and mentoring within a small collegial program that permits close interactions between faculty and students. The program has proved successful in placing its graduates in both academic and non-academic positions.

Bozeman is a beautiful mountain community with unsurpassed opportunities for outdoor recreation and a vibrant cultural environment. 

Students accepted into the PhD program are typically provided with competitive funding packages. Funding at the MA level is dependent on qualifications. The deadline for applicants that wish to be considered for funding is 31 January 2015.

We would be appreciative if you could pass this email on to potentially interested students.
