Apply now for the WINGS Doctoral Fellowship!

The UCAR Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS) is pleased to announce that the NOAA Weather Program Office (WPO) Innovation for Next Generation Scientists (WINGS) PhD Dissertation Fellowship is accepting applications until February 7, 2025.

The WINGS PhD Dissertation Fellowship is designed to develop and foster the next generation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) scholars who are PhD candidates having completed their required coursework and are in the beginning stages of writing a dissertation. Fellows will work with their academic advisor and a mentor recommended by WPO and CPAESS, to provide guidance during the dissertation process. The focus of this Fellowship is on research relevant to the NOAA WPO's Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) and Joint Transfer Technology Initiative (JTTI) programs. This focus will serve as a catalyst for community research and modeling system advances that continually inform and accelerate improvements in the Unified Forecast System (UFS), spanning local to global domains and predictive timescales from sub-hourly analyses to seasonal predictions.
