The Consortium for Monitoring, Technology, and Verification (MTV) is proud to announce a new fellowship, open to undergraduate and graduate students.
MTV’s mission is to develop new technologies that detect and deter nuclear proliferation activities and to train the next generation of nuclear professionals. To support this mission, competitive fellowships are being awarded to MTV students fulfilling all of the following requirements:
- have a record of superior academic achievement,
- conduct research relevant to the MTV mission: nuclear science, nuclear security, safeguards, nonproliferation, machine learning, radiation detection electronics,
- have an advisor or co-advisor who is part of our MTV consortium,
- are US citizens or permanent residents
Undergraduate fellowships will provide an $8,000 stipend per spring/summer for 12 weeks of full-time work or $2,000 during the fall or winter semesters for part-time work (10/week) to each MTV Fellow, renewable until Summer 2025. Additionally, each MTV Fellow will participate in annual meetings: the annual University Program Review (UPR) meeting, featuring current research and activities of all university consortia, and the MTV annual workshop.
Graduate fellowships will cover full tuition, fees, and provide a $38,400 annual stipend ($3,200/month) to each MTV Fellow for up to three years or until Summer 2025. Additionally, each MTV Fellow will participate in annual meetings: the annual University Program Review (UPR) meeting, featuring current research and activities of all university consortia, and the MTV annual workshop.
Continuing support for an MTV Fellow is contingent on satisfactory progress in their degree program while maintaining the minimum 3.6 GPA on a 4.0 point scale. MTV Fellows will be required to submit reports to MTV leadership describing their research at the end of each funding period (fall, winter, and/or spring/summer). These reports and input from the fellow’s advisor(s) will inform the decision to extend the fellowship each period.
Graduate Fellows, with the help of their advisors, are expected to identify a mentor at one of the participating national laboratories or other participating research centers for the duration of the fellowship.
Applications and one letter of support are due by December 2, 2022. Letters of support should be sent to: [email protected]
