1. Graduate Visitor at NCAR

NCAR's Advanced Study Program's Graduate Student Fellowship is an excellent way to spend time at NCAR and work on parts of your thesis, or final project equivalent, with guidance from NCAR scientists and engineers. Students in the atmospheric and related sciences, engineering and scientific computing are invited to apply. Besides providing enrichment for graduate research in core geosciences, NCAR has a strong interdisciplinary mission to bring other fields to bear on substantial problems in climate, weather and related disciplines. Thus there is also significant opportunity for students in computational science, data science, social science, or engineering to bring a multidisciplinary component to their thesis research.

Students will spend 3-12 months at NCAR working on projects in support of their degree thesis and/or project.
