Summer student fellowship in ocean sciences and engineering (Woods Hole, Massachusetts)

A research project is at the heart of the Summer Student Fellowship at

the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Fellows have the

opportunity to conduct research with access to more than two hundred

practicing scientists and engineers and the facilities of a major

oceanographic institution. Project topics span the vast spectrum of

research in ocean sciences and engineering conducted in WHOI’s science

departments and the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center of the

U.S. Geological Survey.

Fellowship recipients participate in seminars, professional development,

social activities, and a hands-on, one-day, ocean sampling cruise on

board the R/V Tioga focusing on data collection and sampling methods

with advanced oceanographic technology and instruments.

Fellows have many occasions to interact with current MIT-WHOI Joint

Program graduate students in their research groups, during Q&A sessions

and the Ethics in Science Workshop, and in a near-peer mentoring program.

The fellowship provides a stipend of $670/week, as well as housing and a

travel allowance. The program duration is a minimum of 10 weeks and a

maximum of 12 weeks. The start and end dates are flexible - students

arrive between the end of May to mid-June.

Students from groups underrepresented in ocean science and engineering

are encouraged to apply.

Requirements: Undergraduate STEM majors who will have completed their

junior year are eligible.
