The Hindu god Shiva shares several features with the Rudra: the theonym Shiva originated as an epithet of Rudra, the adjective shiva (kind) being used euphemistically of Rudra, who also carries the epithet Aghora, Abhayankar (extremely calm [ sic ] non terrifying).udra requesting Brahma to calm down. Rudra is used both as a name of Shiva and collectively (the Rudras ) as the name for the Maruts. Gavin Flood characterizes the Maruts as storm gods, associated with the atmosphere.
A fellowship provides financial support to graduate students to pursue graduate studies without associated teaching or research responsibilites (as they are in a teaching or research assistantship). Fellowships are generally merit-based internal or external awards to support a student in a full-time course of study. The Graduate School funds a significant number of entering doctoral students with fellowships awarded through their graduate field.
The Department is able to offer opportunities in research. These research fellowships are available for medical students, residents, or postgraduate neurosurgeons from the US or abroad. These positions allow very motivated individuals to join a team of researchers and participate in the program.
