Graduate Fellowship Program

Description

The Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory (CSTL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology offers a CSTL Graduate Fellowship Program. The program provides a salary of $32,000 with annual cost of living adjustments, and requires a one-year tenure at NIST prior to receiving full-time support (salary, plus up to $5,000 tuition assistance) while pursuing a Ph.D. in any science or engineering area related to chemical science and technology.

The program represents a unique opportunity for students who have outstanding undergraduate academic records and are interested in pursuing an advanced education and research career at a world-class research laboratory. NIST sees this program as a vehicle for adding energetic high-quality researchers to their staff, of which more than 60% are Ph.D. scientists and engineers.

Fellow(s) are assigned to a full time position within the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory for one year, during which time he/she must gain acceptance to a Ph.D. program that meets approval of the CSTL Director. Two years of full-time course work support is provided, with summer employment at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Three years of support is provided while completing dissertation research at NIST. A research staff position at NIST is offered upon completion of all requirements for the Ph.D.
