About this position
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Office supports research, development, testing, and commercialization of technologies that advance marine energy and next-generation hydropower and pumped storage systems. This Graduate Student Track fellowship is designed to strengthen the marine energy workforce by helping graduate students build research experience in a field focused on turning wave, tide, river, and ocean current energy into electricity.
As a fellow, you will carry out research connected to your graduate training at both your academic institution and an external hosting facility. The program places emphasis on working with DOE laboratories, industry organizations, NGOs, nonprofits, federal agencies, and other approved facilities, with the expectation that you independently identify a host site and mentor whose research aligns with your goals.
The experience is meant to deepen your training in marine energy while connecting you with scientists and practitioners working on emerging technologies in marine energy and ocean-based industries. Fellows gain access to specialized resources, technical expertise, and research environments that can support thesis, dissertation, or project-based graduate work.
The program is offered in cohorts, including a summer cohort, and is oriented around collaborative research between your home institution and the chosen host facility. The posting emphasizes mentorship, technical fit, and the opportunity to build experience in marine energy research and development.
