Ocean Dynamics and Modeling

About this program

The Naval Postgraduate School, in collaboration with the National Academies of Science, Engineering, & Medicine, offers a fellowship grant totaling $67,000 to support research in physical oceanography and geophysical fluid dynamics. The funding aims to advance understanding of oceanic water mass formation and motion through analytical and numerical methods, focusing on topics such as mesoscale and submesoscale variability, double diffusive convection, and stratified wakes. Eligibility is open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and non-U.S. citizens at the postdoctoral and senior researcher levels, with stipends adjusted based on years of experience post-PhD. No letter of intent or deadline is specified, and no cost-sharing is required.
