Link Foundation Modeling and Simulation Fellowship

The Link Foundation supports programs to foster the theoretical basis, practical knowledge, and application of energy, simulation, and ocean engineering and instrumentation research, and to disseminate the results of that research through lectures, seminars and publications.

The Link Foundation proudly offers 1 year fellowships of $35,000 for PhD students in areas that Modeling, Simulation, and Training.

research priority

The Foundation is especially interested in research that is ultimately applicable to human-in-the-loop simulation. Areas of research emphasis include:

• Modeling and simulating interactive, real-world environments in which people function.
• Training and preparing individuals to perform in interactive environments through the use of simulators.
• Developing or applying technologies that enables or improves modeling and simulation as described in the previous bullets.

Eligibility

• The applicant must be working toward a Ph.D. in an established doctoral degree program.
• No limitations are placed on citizenship.
• Fellowships are only available to students enrolled at U.S. or Canadian Universities.
• Preference is given to candidates who have a well-defined thesis direction, but who still have enough remaining time to work toward their Ph.D. such that the receipt of a Link Foundation Fellowship could make a difference, and re doing research applicable to simulating real-time complex, interactive environments, or training and preparing individuals to perform in such environments.
