WHOI Looking for Summer Fellows

WOODS HOLE – A research project is at the heart of the Summer Student Fellowship program.

All Fellows are expected to work on a project selected in collaboration with their sponsors that will provide meaningful results in one summer’s work.

Project topics span the vast spectrum of research in ocean sciences and engineering conducted in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s science departments and the Woods Hole Field Station of the U.S. Geological Survey.

Fellowship recipients have the opportunity to attend and participate in a busy schedule of talks, seminars and a hands-on, one-day ocean sampling cruise aboard the R/V Tioga, focusing on data collection and sampling methods with advanced oceanographic technology and instruments.

The cruise is especially designed for Fellows and not only provides practical training but also brings the group together socially through a shared field experience.

WHOI actively recruits underrepresented minorities in ocean science as defined by the National Science Foundation in all of their education programs, as well as programs of the Woods Hole Diversity Initiative, such as the Woods Hole Partnership Education Program.

Applications are accepted each year from mid-November through February 15.
