\n
The University of Delaware (UD) and the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) have established a graduate research fellowship in renewable energy research as part of the purchase and sale of renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by UD\u2019s 2MW wind turbine<\/a>that is located adjacent to the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment\u2019s (CEOE) Lewes, Delaware campus.\u00a0 The focus of the fellowship is wind energy<\/i><\/b> and the storage<\/i><\/b> of intermittent renewables. Separately, the Magers Family has established a Wind Energy graduate fellowship in CEOE\u2019s School of Marine Science and Policy.<\/p>\n \n Fellows will be advised, as appropriate, by a faculty member whose principal appointment is in Marine Policy (MP)<\/b>, Physical Ocean Science and Engineering (POSE)<\/b>, Geography<\/b> or Geological Sciences<\/b>.<\/p>\n We are particularly interested in fellows who are interested in socio-economic\/cultural dimensions of wind energy, grid integration; marine logistics; environmental risk assessment; spatial planning; wind meteorology, resource assessment and wind turbine wakes; geological and geotechnical aspects of wind projects; and cost of energy, including social costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n Each fellow is required to be admitted to the master\u2019s or PhD program in MP, POSE, Geological Sciences or Geography.\u00a0\u00a0 You must apply and be accepted a graduate student to be eligible for either research fellowship<\/u>.\u00a0 We also offer anInterdisciplinary Graduate Certificate in Wind Power Science, Engineering and Policy<\/a>, so successful applicants will have the option of obtaining that specialist certificate in addition to a graduate degree.<\/p>\n \n UD\u2019s Wind Power Program<\/a> is part of the larger Center for Carbon-free Power Integration (CCPI)<\/a>, which is managed by faculty in three colleges (CEOE, Business and Economics, and Engineering), and which also focuses on grid-integrated electric vehicles<\/a>. In addition, we have an exchange program with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).<\/p>\n \n As the leading academic program in offshore wind energy in the Americas, we prepare students<\/a> for successful careers in government, nongovernmental organizations, research institutions, and the private sector.\u00a0 Interested prospective graduate students should visit here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n When applying, please note in your personal statement your interest in one or both of the fellowships.<\/b><\/p>\n \n Fellowships include a tuition waiver for the Fall and Spring semesters<\/b> and a stipend. Twelve-month stipends are approximately $26,000<\/b> for Ph.D. students and slightly less for Master\u2019s students. Depending on individual circumstance, a 9-month stipend can be considered. Review of applications will begin immediately and decision made in January\/February 2017, so early application is encouraged.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n \n If you intend to apply for the fellowship, you should notify, Janis Lopez, CEOE Assistant Dean for Graduate Studies at jclopez@udel.edu<\/a>.\u00a0 For questions regarding fellowships, please contact Professor Jeremy Firestone at jf@udel.edu<\/a>; for questions regarding the graduate certificate educational program, please contact Professor John Madsen, CCPI\u2019s Coordinator of Educational Programs at jmadsen@udel.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Renewable Energy Graduate Research Fellowships Fall 2017 College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment University of Delaware, USA The University of Delaware (UD) and the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) have… Read more »<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2234,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1301,104780,2679,104778,104774,104777],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-climate-change","category-conservation","category-economics","category-energy","category-fellowship","category-research"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/enstopportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/enstopportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/enstopportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/enstopportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2234"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/enstopportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/enstopportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/enstopportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/enstopportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/enstopportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
