Research Areas

Scholarships are available to new or recent doctoral graduates in diverse areas of research. Applications will be accepted from doctoral recipients from all fields of ocean sciences and engineering. This year, we also plan to award scholarships to those whose academic record and stated interests demonstrate the potential to build institutional momentum in research areas in data and computational sciences, defense-adjacent fields of ocean science and engineering, and with connections to potentially commercializable applications. Finally, the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility (NOSAMS) facility will award a fellowship in radiocarbon research and/or the development or improvement of analytical techniques or instrumentation. More information about NOSAMS is below.

Research Departments

Recipients will pursue their own research interests, mentored by resident staff. Applicants should identify and contact members of the Scientific and Senior Research Staff within one or more of our scientific departments, who share similar research ideas and are willing to serve as mentors.  Information about the individual Departments and their research can be found by visiting the following department links.

The National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility (NOSAMS)

An award will be given to an individual interested in either or both (i) studies of radiocarbon in oceanic systems and (ii) developments in accelerator mass spectrometry and related techniques. Typical projects include diverse studies of the biogeochemical cycling of carbon, the detection and tracing of pollutants in natural systems, paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic investigations, and development of novel analytical methods and instrumentation. A wide range of equipment provides unique opportunities for compound-specific, high throughput, and high precision applications.  More information about NOSAMS can be found here.
