To be eligible, respondents must:

• Be completing a dissertation on the human experience in crisis, including those resulting from natural or other major disasters or, more broadly, stress and adversity.
• Have successfully defended the dissertation proposal by the time of application.
• Have a strong research background with a primary interest in the mental health aspect of crises, stress and adversity.
• Be a doctoral candidate in nursing, psychiatry, psychology, social work, sociology or other field relevant to mental health at The University of Texas at Austin.
