Fall Semester 2008 Ewing/Worzel Fellowship and Gale White Fellowship application - application deadline is May 27 at 5:00 p.m. Submit completed applications to Jamie Austin or Nancy Hard.

Student training is an important component of the research activities of the Institute. The Institute itself does not award degrees; rather the Institute maintains close relationships with the Department of Geological Sciences and the Marine Science Department through cooperative programs and joint faculty appointments. Many graduate and undergraduate students from UT and other universities and high school students take advantage of the opportunity to work with the staff and facilities of the Institute for Geophysics on projects related to funded research programs. Office space and computational resources are made available to students in the Institute laboratory. There are at present 40 students associated with the Institute.

Further information (including info on fellowships, research assistantships, jobs), is available regarding opportunities for prospective students.
