Enhancing Marine Ecosystem Research and Graduate Education in Alaska (EMERGE Alaska) seeks to recruit four (4) students to pursue PhD degrees associated with geoscience research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (CFOS). Recipients of NSF's GRFP Honorable Mention (received no earlier than spring 2022) are invited to apply for these positions. EMERGE Alaska fellows will be selected during the fall 2025 and spring 2026 semesters based on research interests that align with those of participating faculty from CFOS at UAF. Fellows will receive tuition, stipend, fees and health care support for 3 years, and will have the opportunity to address fundamental questions about the physical, chemical, geological and biological processes driving the productivity and function of the world’s ocean. Fellows will integrate into existing externally supported projects run by CFOS faculty. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact CFOS participating faculty to discuss research opportunities and CFOS PhD program requirements. Note that: Applicants can apply to graduate programs that differ from those selected in the field or sub-field listed in their previous GRFP application. The required personal statement must be specific to this opportunity and your interest in UAF. The internal selection process includes review of applications by participating CFOS faculty. Participating faculty and selected fellows must agree to adhere to the EMERGE Alaska mentorship plan. Information about participating faculty, research projects, the mentorship plan, and CFOS PhD programs can be found at the program website below.
