Additional Information:
Students
must be nominated by a doctoral faculty member. The nominator provides the supporting documentation (CV, dissertation description, etc.), categorizes the student’s initial career interests, and submits the nomination for evaluation.
All IBM PhD Fellowship awardees are matched with an IBM mentor according to their technical interests and are encouraged to participate in an internship at least once while completing their studies. Students receiving a comparable fellowship or internship from another company or institution during the same academic period may not be eligible for an IBM PhD Fellowship.
Students should have three years remaining in their graduate program
at the time of nomination. The IBM PhD Fellowship is intended to cover the last two, research-oriented years of a PhD program. For example, nominees that are enrolled in a 4-year graduate program should have completed two years of their graduate program as of summer 2022 in order to benefit the most.
Faculty receiving this email can submit nominations until Nov 5, 2021 regardless of the earlier date on the website.
The IBM PhD Fellowship program also supports the long-standing commitment to workforce diversity and encourages nominations of women, minorities and all who contribute to that diversity. The program seeks to increase the number of under-represented minority students in the referenced science topics of interest by encouraging a diverse applicant pool. We look forward to receiving your nominations.
