\nAdmission into the WHOI\/MIT Joint Program is extremely competitive.\u00a0 Having a great academic track record helps.\u00a0 Applying for and receiving funding for gradschool is also helpful.\nYour first step for WHOI is to read up on the Joint Program<\/a>.\u00a0 WHOI’s version of the site is here<\/a>.
\nThen, check out these fellowships and websites:\n\n\n
Science.gov<\/a> list of fellowship opportunities<\/p>\n\n WHOI provides perhaps the best postdoctoral scholarship opportunites in the marine sciences (and one of the best in all of science).<\/p>\n If you’re interested in postdoc-ing in my lab, first step, check out the WHOI Postdoctoral Scholar <\/a>program.<\/p>\n Another option is a fellowship from another institution. Such opportunities include:<\/p>\n\n – The NSF Biology Postdoc <\/a>but these vary in topic area from year to year<\/p>\n An additional option at WHOI is to write you into a grant. WHOI calls this a ‘Postdoc Investigator’ This will obviously take some planning, so let’s talk about this waaaay ahead of time.<\/p>\n I have worked with some great undergraduate summer students in the past. They have worked on various projects including analyzing data, sand lance hearing and detection of whale sound, and squid auditory anatomy.\u00a0 The goal for a summer student is to have a succinct and manageable project. It really helps if you have a background in physiology, neurobiology, and behavior.<\/p>\n If you are interested in being a summer student in my lab, check out WHOI’s websites:<\/p>\n\n\n There’s info for the WHOI undergraduate fellowships there.\u00a0 Deadlines are in February.\u00a0 The WHOI Summer Student Fellowship Program<\/a> provides stipends and housing.\u00a0 We also take a limited number of voluteers. You have to have a good coursework and research background.<\/p>\n We may also be able to fund you as a Guest Student.\u00a0 You may email me about those options.<\/p>\n Another option for students is to get summer funding from your own institution. Many institutions offer these. Ask around or ask your advisor.<\/p>\n We often have positions available for interns or guest investigators. They are typically and unpaid research opportunity for ~4months (3-6 months). We are currently accepting for internship applications for this year. The positions are in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and will involve a commitment of at least 20 hours per week extending over a 3-4 months period from February 20th<\/sup>, 2013 to June 15th<\/sup>, 2013.\u00a0 An earlier start is preferable, if possible. There is some flexibility in these start and end dates.<\/p>\n Interns can expect to participate in and be exposed to a variety of research projects but work will focus on:<\/p>\n (A.
