Exploration Geophysics $34,355 Graduate Fellowship
This one year fellowship for graduate students includes an annual stipend of $34,355. Exploration geophysics research at The Jackson School of Geosciences is conducted within the Department of Geological Sciences as well as at both of the school’s major research units, The Bureau of Economic Geology and The Institute for Geophysics.
The Jackson School also collaborates with related research on campus in the Department of Petroleum & Geosystems Engineering and the Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics.
Exploration Geophysics involves the use of geophysical theory and instrumentation to de fine subsurface geology and predict locations of petroleum and mineral resources.
Exploration Geophysics at The University of Texas at Austin focuses on teaching and research in the acquisition and analysis of 3-D re ection seismic data to search for and develop oil & gas resources. The educational opportunities at the Jackson School of Geosciences are great. All applicants are considered for nancial support. Those admitted are assured support for 4 semesters (MSc) or 10 semesters (PhD) and most graduates of the program enter careers in the Energy Industry. The Exploration Geophysics Graduate Fellowship for graduate students at The University of Texas at Austin is for outstanding students with backgrounds in geophysics/geology, math, physics, computer sciences and/or electrical and petroleum engineering.
