*2026 Great Lakes Summer Fellows Program *
The Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) announces the 2026
Great Lakes Summer Fellows Program
<https://ciglr.seas.umich.edu/opportunities/student-fellowships/>, in
partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) Great
Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL) <https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/>. The
Great Lakes Summer Fellows Program exposes students to a broad range of
STEM disciplines by providing hands-on research training and career
development mentoring in a supportive and inclusive environment. Through
this program, students work on substantive research issues in the Great
Lakes and undergo a career training program that equips them with the
knowledge and skills to be the next generation of Great Lakes scientists.


*Brief description: *

   - We are offering four (4) full-time, twelve-week positions.
   - In-person experience is highly recommended, but if necessary, options
   exist for fully remote, or hybrid experiences.
   - Onsite work will be conducted at the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental
   Research Lab (GLERL) <https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/> in Ann Arbor, MI.
   - Fellowships will begin on May 26 and end on August 14, 2025.
   - Each student will receive a $10,000 stipend, paid in four monthly
   installments of $2,500.



*Eligibility: *

   - The program is limited to currently-enrolled undergraduate (juniors
   and seniors as of Fall 2026) and graduate students (Master’s and Ph.D.). We
   will also consider post-baccalaureate or post-masters students who have
   graduated within the past 12 months of the fellowship (i.e., May 2025 or
   after), if the position fits directly within a student’s career or academic
   goals.
   - You must be either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to be eligible
   for the program.
   - Immediate relatives of any CIGLR or NOAA GLERL employees are not
   eligible to participate in this program, consistent with NOAA guidelines.
