Fellowships in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
June 18 to August 24, 2012
Since 1959 the GFD program has promoted an exchange of ideas among
researchers from distinct fields that share a common interest in the
nonlinear dynamics of fluid flows in oceanography, meteorology,
geophysics, astrophysics, applied mathematics, engineering and physics.
The program is organized around a ten-week course of study and research
with an overall philosophy of bringing together researchers from a
variety of backgrounds to provide a discussion of concepts spanning
different disciplines, and thereby creating an intense research
experience. Fellows complete a research project, pursued under the
supervision of the staff. The Program commences with two weeks of
Principal Lectures. For 2012, the lectures will be "Spatially Localized
Structures: Theory and Applications" delivered by Edgar Knobloch (UC
Berkeley), and "Dynamics of Coherent Structures and Their Impact on
Transport and Predictability" delivered by Jeffrey B. Weiss (CU Boulder).
Up to ten competitive fellowships are available for graduate students.
Successful applicants receive stipends of $5,500 and travel allowances.
A small number of unpaid fellowships may also be available. Fellows are
expected to be in residence for the full ten-week program. The
application deadline is February 15, 2012. We seek applicants from all
areas of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, and particularly encourage
applications from women and members of underrepresented groups. Further
information and application forms may be obtained at http://gfd.whoi.edu
