Independent Graduate Research Scholarship - Summer 2026
by Jennifer R Ricksy 27 Mar '26

27 Mar '26

Hello CCE Grad Students! The CCE Grad Office requesting applications for the Summer 2026 Independent Graduate Research Scholarships. Students often request opportunities to obtain research experience, even without a formal research assistantship. This scholarship program is not intended to replace an assistantship (students should not be working on a project that is supported through a grant). Instead, the student is strongly encouraged to propose a small research project, that a faculty member is willing to supervise and guide. This program is meant as another opportunity for professional and technical development for our graduate students and to encourage students who have not received an assistantship or thesis project, to venture into/engage in research. I have attached a document with more information about the process. We anticipate having five positions to award, each providing a $3000 scholarship. Eligibility requirements: * Students must have satisfactorily completed at least one semester in the CCE grad program at the time of application: must have at least a 3.0 GPA * Are not receiving/have not received assistantship funding * Applications must be endorsed by a CCE faculty member who is willing to supervise/mentor the student as the student pursues a small research project * At the completion of the semester during which students receive the funding, the students will submit a short (2-page max) summary of the topic they worked on, lessons learned, outcome, future research plans, etc. * Have not received the CCE Graduate Student Independent Research Scholarship previously If you would like to apply, please submit the following materials, as one pdf to Jenny Ricksy, jricksy(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jricksy@purdue.edu>, by 8:00 am on March 30 ,2026: * Transcripts * Resume/CV * Independent study topic proposal, including the expected benefits that the student anticipates gaining from the experience and a cost estimate for any software/hardware, travel, materials for the project (2 pages max) * Letter of endorsement from faculty member Regards, Jenny Jenny Ricksy Burke Graduate Program Administrator Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering Ph: 765-494-2436 Fax: 765-494-0395 HAMP 1141G Current Residential Students: https://engineering.purdue.edu/CE/Academics/Graduate/Current Current Online Students: https://engineering.purdue.edu/CE/Academics/Graduate/Online/curriculum Prospective Residential Students: https://engineering.purdue.edu/CE/Academics/Graduate/Degree-Requirements Prospective Online Students: https://engineering.purdue.edu/CE/Academics/Graduate/Online

Dear all: The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is recruiting tenure-track Assistant Professors across a broad spectrum of civil and environmental engineering areas. These include, but are not limited to, climate change adaptation, smart and digital construction, modular and automated construction, coastal infrastructure protection, environmental engineering, sustainable urban systems, autonomous and robotic technologies, life cycle analysis and circular economy, and geotechnical engineering. We will be hosting a recruitment sharing session on 14 April 2026 (Tuesday), 1 pm to 2:30 pm at ARMS B061 (please refer to the attached flyer for details). You are warmly invited to attend the session to learn more about opportunities at NUS CEE. Interested candidates are encouraged to email their CVs in advance (to ceeongr(a)nus.edu.sg<mailto:ceeongr@nus.edu.sg>) so that we may arrange informal discussions during the visit. CEE at NUS is one of the leading programmes in Asia, with a strong and diverse faculty spanning civil infrastructure, transportation, water and environmental systems, and urban sustainability. NUS is consistently ranked among the world's top universities, and CEE offers outstanding opportunities with state-of-the-art research facilities and strong interdisciplinary collaboration within the College of Design and Engineering. Faculty benefit from a well-resourced and globally connected research environment, closely linked to Singapore's role as a living laboratory for urban solutions. English is the medium of teaching, research, and administration, and the academic system is broadly aligned with international (particularly North American) practices. NUS CEE provides a highly collaborative and well-supported environment for early-career faculty, with competitive start-up packages, access to advanced research infrastructure, and strong partnerships with government and industry in areas such as resilient infrastructure, smart cities, and sustainability. I would be glad to share more about the department, ongoing research initiatives, and career opportunities at NUS. I look forward to connecting with you.
