The Department of Navy’s (DoN) HBCU/MI Post-Doctoral (PD) Program provides a unique opportunity for recent graduates to pursue challenging research problems through a two-year funded program focused on discovery and the advancement of science and technology for applications relevant to the Department of Defense (DoD), DoN and the NRL.
Select PD candidates will engage with world-renowned scientist and engineers in Washington, D.C. to support discovery and innovation for naval defense applications. This two-year appointment provides an annual stipend, health benefits, travel and relocation costs. The Post-Doctoral program tailors specific research projects with the intent on enhancing the candidate’s skill-set for careers in S&T with the potential for significant impacts in the scientific and global community.
The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars (TWCIAS) works jointly with the NRL HBCU/MI Program Director to co-administer the Post-Doctoral research programs on-line database and application process. Please refer to the TWC website and point-of-contact (POC) for more detailed information.
