what your research is about from the beginning. Be nice with them
and do your best to return information. Do not forget that your research
will be built with their direct or indirect participation. Enjoy your
time in the field!

Tips: TCD is an incredible resource -- not only is
it great to be surrounded by other students who are interested in
similar issues, but the majority of affiliated faculty are amazingly
approachable and genuinely curious to hear about your research. As

Adviser: Marianne Schmink
Home Country: USA
Research Interests: My research occurs in the Terra do Meio region of Para, Brazil. I am examining attachment to place among traditional people who have endured decades of violence, land conflict, feudal work conditions, and economic and social isolation. Despite these challenges, many families have decided to remain in the region. I am using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand the material and symbolic dimensions of their attachment to this region.
Tips: Talk to as many professors as you can about your research ideas early on to get your ideas refined. Get a proposal done as soon as possible and get feedback on it--the more the better! |

Tips: My advice to new students would be to really take advantage of the intellectual community that TCD provides, by participating in seminars and workshops and just by getting to know one another. Students and faculty bring a wealth of applied experience to the program, that is what makes it so unique and amazing!

Research Interests: Large carnivore ecology and conservation, protected areas management, human-wildlife interactions, landscape ecology.
Tips: The TCD program is an ideal place to learn from others experiences, as it attracts people from many disciplines and from all over the world. The chances that you will hear different opinions about a single issue are very high. Sometimes you will agree and sometimes you will disagree, but come with your mind open and try to understand different points of view and learn from them. In doing so, you will be able to take more from your experience at UF-TCD. And for the non-native English speakers… my best advice is that you try to live with a native English speaker from day 1. Otherwise, your learning will be much harder… my own experience…

Tips: Come prepared to deal with bureaucracy...it is good to have all your documents and personal info typed and saved in your computer, so you don't
need to do it 10 times. Also, it is recommended that you bring some extra money to survive here until you get paid, which can take longer than you wish. Be prepared to be interviewed by a homeland security officer when you enter in the US...have an emergency phone handy in case you need....but don't give up, the University and the TCD program are great, so just be a
little patient in the beginning! |

Home Country: Guatemala
Research Interests: My research focuses on the formation of a new territory as migrant Q'eqchi'-Maya farmers consolidate their communities in northern Guatemala. I am also interested in the process of collective decision making regarding common property resources.
Tips: An acceptance letter and funding might not be obtained in the same moment, therefore, be patient and remember you always have the choice to defer your enrollment for one year, but talk with your department as much as you need. Sometimes making a phonecall is worth more than 10 emails. For Latin American students, look for funding accessible from your country and be involved with institutions that can support your candidature in case you need it.

Research Interests: Land use change in extractive
reserves in Brazilian Amazonia
Tips: Meus “tips” são direcionados
à estudantes da Amazônia brasileira. Eu, você
e outros 90% dos estudantes da Amazonia tem um problema comum para
iniciar um programa avançado de pós-graduação
como o TCD: o domínio insuficiente da língua inglesa.
Porém, por viver e trabalhar na Amazônia você
tem “armas” que muitos outros candidatos não
tem, especialmente para um programa concentrado em estudos de regiões
tropicais. Por isto, não deixe que a sua deficiência
com a língua inglesa impeça-o completamente de aplicar
para o TCD. Então, é preciso saber balancear (negociar)
suas deficiências e vantagens. Essa é com certeza uma
experiência "pai d'égua" muito importante
para seu futuro profissional na Amazônia.
É preciso se esforçar ao máximo para melhorar
o nível do seu inglês antes de aplicar para o programa.
No entanto, dependendo de vários fatores como, por exemplo,
a sua experiência profissional, talvez você consiga
negociar uma admissão condicional no TCD. Isso permite que
você inicie o programa ao mesmo tempo em que se prepara para
o TOEFL durante seu primeiro semestre. Me escreve (valerio@ufl.edu)
e a gente continua trocando idéias ou"tipiando."

Tips: Find an advisor who is interested in your work, who thinks what you want to do is valuable, and is willing to put efforts into assisting you. When you do start your study here, talk to people: professors, and fellow students - you'll get tremendous help and inspiration from them, and get encouraged that this frustrating process of struggling is indeed part of our graduate study, and you'll finally pull through. UF is an incredible institution in that there're people doing all sorts of research here, so you'll always find someone that you can turn to for a helpful discussion. Make full use of the rich academic resources that you have around you.

and students who have strengths in areas where you don’t and
who can broaden your skills.

Home Country: USA
Research Interests: Use of population viability analysis as a tool to address basic ecological questions concerning the ecological and economic trade-offs between management strategies that focus on NTFPs vs. those that focus on timber. Carapa guianensis, deforestation, ecology.
Tips: Choose a research topic that you are passionate about. Use that passion to apply early and often for funding to complete the project. Use the professors and students at UF; they are a valuable research. Accept criticism knowing that it will help strengthen your project and take breaks. I highly recommend playing frisbee, learning capoeira or doing Brazilian dance (5 stars for Juliana Azoubel's classes)!

one of the greatest assets of the UF graduate community, and they
have a wealth of knowledge and experience that is readily available
and extremely helpful for making major decisions about schools, classes,

Tips: When applying to UF, I would recommend being

Also, I think it is important to talk to as many people as you can
about paperwork, classes to be taken, professors, etc. I think we
have the right to be inquisitive and starting a new phase in your
life is a good opportunity to do so. Regarding Gainesville, I would
say that it's a great place to be: nice weather, and it’s
easy to make friends on-campus and also off-campus, if you are a
bit of an explorer.

Going where the money is or following an established project may
be tempting and is, in some cases, successful. Grad school, however,
especially interdisciplinary programs, can be a rare opportunity
to explore realistic applications of your dreams.

Research Interests: I'm interested in how nutrients cycle in mature forest and how these cycles change with land conversion. Land productivity often decreases when forests are replaced with agricultural and pasture in the lowland wet tropics. For my dissertation I'm investigating how native vegetation accesses and uses nutrients. Understanding the mechanisms native vegetation uses to maintain high productivity with low nutrient availability can provide clues for improving productivity and sustainability of managed systems. |

Tips: Tente elaborar o melhor possivel sua proposta
de pesquisa antes mesmo da aplicacao. Se voce vier com uma ideia
clara do que quer desenvolver, isto facilitara bastante sua vida,
ajudara a selecionar os cursos que voce ira tomar e tambem ajudara
na escolha de seu orientador e comite. Alem disso, alguns cursos
demandarao de voce uma proposta, talvez ja no primeiro semestre.
E, e claro, voce podera fazer os ajustes necessarios mais tarde.
Contatar previamente estudantes da Ufl tambem e uma boa, pelos motivos
que outros colegas ja expuseram nesta pagina. Sobre o ingles, leve
a serio o que o Valerio escreveu, lembrando que quanto melhor voce
falar e entender mais facil sera sua vida no primeiro semestre.
Finalmente, se voce pretende morar em um apartamento da universidade
(em geral mais perto e mais baratos), procure informacoes e inscreva-se
o mais cedo possivel, porque a fila e grande e voce podera esperar
ate um ano para conseguir uma vaga.
