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.

NSF Nordic Research Opportunity
Dear NSF Graduate Fellows and Coordinating Officials:
We are pleased to announce the 2012 Nordic Research Opportunity, available as a Supplemental Award, for NSF Graduate Research Fellows. NSF, the Research Council of Norway (RCN), the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (TEKES), the Academy of Finland, the Danish National Research Foundation and the Swedish Research Council will support on a competitive basis research visits of 2-12 months or 3-12 months (country-specific) in Norway, Finland, Denmark and Sweden. This international research opportunity is intended to enrich the Graduate Research Fellows’ experience through cooperative activities with leading Nordic scientists and institutions, thus enabling them to develop early-career collaborations with international research partners. Results of the research collaboration are expected to expand opportunities for innovation and add an international dimension to Fellow research projects. Interested NSF Graduate Research Fellows who have completed at least one year of graduate study and who are studying at U.S. institutions are encouraged to contact potential Nordic host institutions for detailed information on current research activities at that site.
Please read the announcement (Dear Colleague Letter) on the NSF Website at: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12006/nsf12006.pdf
The 2012 Supplement Request Deadline is January 20, 2012. Announcement of supplement awards will be made in April, 2012. If you have any questions after reading the Dear Colleague Letter, please contact Gisele Muller-Parker, email: gtmuller@nsf.gov
We hope you give this funding opportunity to establish collaborations with Nordic colleagues serious consideration as your research programs develop. Please note that we are still in the process of developing a new international funding opportunity, to be announced to you sometime this fall. We will notify you as soon as we are able to provide details.

The Summer Institutes are hosted by foreign counterparts committed to increasing opportunities for young U.S. researchers to work in research facilities and with host mentors abroad. Fellows are supported to participate in eight-week research experiences at host laboratories in Australia, China, Japan (10 weeks), Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan from June to August. The program provides a $5,000 summer stipend, round-trip airfare to the host location, living expenses abroad, and an introduction to the society, culture, language, and research environment of the host location.
The 2012 application is now open and will close at 5:00 pm proposer’s local time on November 9, 2011. Application instructions are available online at www.nsfsi.org. For further information concerning benefits, eligibility, and tips on applying, applicants are encouraged to visit www.nsf.gov/eapsi or www.nsfsi.org .
NSF recognizes the importance of enabling U.S. researchers and educators to advance their work through international collaborations and the value of ensuring that future generations of U.S. scientists and engineers gain professional experience beyond this nation's borders early in their careers. The program is intended for U.S. graduate students pursuing studies in fields supported by the National Science Foundation. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply for the EAPSI. Applicants must be enrolled in a research-oriented master's or PhD program and be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents by the application deadline date.
