Philip Liu

Texas A&M University is announcing a Chancellor's National Academy STEM Ph.D. Fellowship Program opportunity for a prospective PhD student in Coastal Engineering and/or Environmental Fluid Mechanics within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The fellowship is associated with Professor Philip Liu (Texas A&M University; emeritus at Cornell University), who is seeking a qualified student interested in these research areas. The post highlights a strong research environment and mentorship from a faculty member connected to the National Academies. Funding: The fellowship offers a stipend of $40,000 annually plus tuition and fees for up to four years of graduate study and research. Eligibility highlights: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in a STEM field by August 2027, have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 3.9/4.0 , be admitted to a STEM doctoral program at Texas A&M University for fall 2027, and be a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or eligible noncitizen. Application timing: The application portal is expected to open in September 2026 . Interested candidates should monitor the fellowship page and contact Professor Liu directly by email if they are qualified. This is a PhD fellowship opportunity rather than a postdoctoral or master's opening, and it is centered on civil engineering, environmental science, and fluid mechanics research.
