The Department of Resource Economics at the University of Nevada, Reno, has received additional funding to offer three research assistantships to new Graduate Students starting in fall 2009. The assistantships include a stipend of $18,000 per year, a partial tuition waiver, and health insurance coverage.
Conditional on strong performance and in absence of any unforeseen shortfall in funding, the full assistantship will be available for up to five years. While we give preference to PhD students, well-qualified MS students are also encouraged to apply for this funding opportunity.
Our graduate program provides a strong foundation in microeconomic theory and quantitative methods, with focus on Resource and Environmental Economics, Regional Economics, and Applied Econometrics.
Details for both the PhD and MS program are available on the web at:

These assistantships provide a superb opportunity for students to work with faculty on funded research. The majority of Research Assistantships result in co-authored publications and often lay the foundation for dissertation and/or Master’s theses.
To assure adequate time for administrative processing we encourage students to apply for this opportunity no later than June 30, 2009. Successful applicants are expected to join the program by August 17, 2009.
