DOE CSGF Seeks Applicants 2025-26 Incoming Class
Applications are being accepted through January 16, 2025 for the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF), with an informational webinar set for December 10, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. CT. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who plan full-time, uninterrupted study toward a Ph.D. at an accredited U.S. university.
The DOE CSGF’s interdisciplinary science and engineering track supports students in a range of fields, but all share a common element: applying high-performance computing (HPC) to complex research problems. A second track supports those studying applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, computer engineering or computational science – in one of those departments or their academic equivalent − with research interests that help scientists use emerging high-performance systems more effectively. This includes students focused on issues in HPC as a broad enabling technology rather than a particular science or engineering application. Regardless of track affiliation, fellows’ research increasingly includes elements of artificial intelligence and machine learning – uniquely positioning them to contribute to the United States’ investments in current and future computing architectures.
Fellows receive exceptional benefits, including a $45,000 yearly stipend; full payment of university tuition and required fees; and an annual academic allowance. Renewable for up to four years, the fellowship is guided by a comprehensive program of study that requires focused coursework in science and engineering, computer science, applied mathematics and HPC. It also includes a three-month practicum at one of 22 DOE laboratories or sites across the country.
About the DOE CSGF: Established in 1991 and funded by the DOE Office of Science and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the program trains top leaders in computational science. As of Sept. 1, the DOE CSGF has onboarded more than 675 students across 34 cohorts and representing a total of 84 Ph.D. institutions. More than 500 program alumni work in an expanding number of fields that support computing's capacity to address problems important to the nation’s future.
About Krell: Iowa-based Krell Institute supports technology-based education and information programs with technical assistance, management expertise and communications products; and collaborates with agencies and institutions to foster the nation’s competitive advantage in science and engineering.
