The Department of Geosciences at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee (UWM) has multiple open graduate student positions (MS or PhD), starting in Fall 2025. Field of study is open, and the department has expertise in paleomagnetism, hydrogeology, volcanology, sedimentology, structural geology, mineralogy, planetary geology, and paleobiology.

Successful applicants will receive full tuition remission, salary, and benefits including access to health insurance. Salary support is in the form of a teaching assistantship (TA), research assistantship (RA), or fellowship. Continuing support is guaranteed to MS students for 4 semesters and PhD students for 8 semesters, provided satisfactory degree progress and sufficient enrollment in courses requiring TAs. 

UWM is located on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan in southeastern Wisconsin. Our graduates go on to rewarding careers in a wide range of sectors, and our Geosciences career-readiness program will help get you there. UWM and the Department of Geosciences are committed to institutional inclusivity. We welcome all who share our intellectual curiosity about the Earth, and we strongly encourage applications from first-generation and underrepresented minority students, persons with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, nontraditional students, and other underrepresented groups in geosciences. UWM is also a military-friendly university, serving more veterans than any other Wisconsin university.

For Fall admission, apply by December 15 to receive full consideration for Graduate Fellowships or by January 15 for other types of funding (TA and RA).
