POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLARSHIPS

Applications accepted from current or recent Ph.D. recipients who wish to broaden their background and training while advancing the knowledge of the ocean and its connection with the Earth system. Applicants in all areas of mathematics, engineering and science, economics and policy, including doctorates in the physical and biological sciences and engineering who wish to pursue their own research interests in association with a member of the resident research staff are encouraged to apply. Interdisciplinary research interests are encouraged.

In addition to awards in these general areas, the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility (NOSAMS) will award a fellowship in radiocarbon research and/or the development or improvement of analytical techniques or instrumentation; and a USGS/ WHOI award in areas of common interest between USGS and WHOI Scientific Staff will be given.

Criteria for awards include demonstrated research independence, productivity and novelty, and community service. Scholarships are awarded for 18-month appointments ($71,000 annual stipend; health and welfare and travel allowances; and a research budget). Communication with potential WHOI advisors prior to applying is strongly encouraged. Applications must be received by October 15, 2024, to start any time after January 1 and before December 1, 2025.
