Applications open for Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program

Applications are now open for the Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program!

50-plus research opportunities are available; deadline to apply is Feb. 28, 2025

About the Program

The Intelligence Community (IC) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program was established in 2000 to support unclassified basic research in areas of interest to the IC.

In collaboration with research advisors, postdocs develop and submit technical research proposals that align with research opportunities proposed by the Intelligence Community. The research is conducted by the postdocs in partnership with the research advisor while also collaborating with an advisor from the Intelligence Community.

Applications are now open for 2025! You can browse this year’s research topics here. The application deadline for the program is Feb. 28, 2025.

The DOE CSGF provides outstanding benefits and opportunities for doctoral students in various fields that use high-performance computing to solve complex problems in science and engineering. Renewable up to four years, the fellowship also seeks candidates researching applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, computer engineering or computational science advances that contribute to more effective use of emerging high-performance systems. Learn more about the program’s two tracks here.

The DOE CSGF is open to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who plan full-time, uninterrupted study toward a Ph.D. at an accredited U.S. university in or by fall 2025.

Academic Eligibility:

  • Senior undergraduates
  • First-year graduate students
  • Those matriculating into graduate school

Benefits:

  • A $45,000 yearly stipend
  • Payment of full tuition and required fees
  • Yearly program review participation
  • An annual professional development allowance
  • A 12-week DOE laboratory research practicum experience

Additional Resources:

Program History & Community: The DOE CSGF has funded the doctoral studies of more than 675 awardees since 1991. Current fellows represent 45 institutions across the country, and program alumni work in industry, academia, non-profit organizations, DOE laboratories and other government institutions (both in the U.S. and abroad). Together they make up a connected and collaborative community invested in supporting one another and advancing scientific discovery via the use of high-performance computing.

Applications Now Open for Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a fellowship open to all U.S. students pursuing doctoral degrees in fields that use high-performance computing to solve complex science and engineering problems.

Established in 1991 and currently carrying a $45,000 annual stipend, the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (CSGF) program provides outstanding benefits and opportunities, fostering a community of energetic and committed Ph.D. students, alumni, DOE laboratory staff, and other scientists who want to have an impact on the nation while advancing their research.

Fellows come from diverse scientific and engineering disciplines but share a common interest in using computing in their research.

More than 675 students from 85 U.S. universities have trained as fellows through the CSGF program. The program’s alumni work in DOE laboratories, private industry, and educational institutions.

Additional Information

To apply, candidates must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who plan full-time, uninterrupted study toward a Ph.D. degree at an accredited U.S. university.

The DOE CSGF’s interdisciplinary science and engineering track supports students in a range of fields, but all share a common element: applying high-performance computing (HPC) to complex research problems.

A second track supports those studying applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, computer engineering, or computational science – in one of those departments or their academic equivalent − with research interests that help scientists use emerging HPC systems more effectively. This includes students focused on issues in HPC as a broad enabling technology rather than a particular science or engineering application.

Regardless of track affiliation, fellows’ research increasingly includes elements of artificial intelligence and machine learning, uniquely positioning them to contribute to the nation’s investments in current and future computing architectures.

In addition to the $45,000 yearly stipend, fellows receive exceptional benefits including full payment of university tuition and required fees and an annual academic allowance. Renewable for up to four years, the fellowship is guided by a comprehensive program of study that requires focused coursework in science and engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, and HPC. It also includes a three-month practicum at one of 22 DOE laboratories or sites across the country.

Deadline, Workshop

It is the applicant’s responsibility to see that all application and supporting materials are received by Thursday, January 16, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. CST. The Krell Institute administers the fellowship on behalf of DOE.

To register for the informational webinar and live Q&A on December 10, 2024 at 2:30 p.m. EST, please visit the DOE/CSGF web page at: https://krellinst-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/9217290097606/WN_OBZqQXkuTWiI0LHk0IOyRg
