Postgraduate Opportunities and Visiting Scholars
Visiting scientists contribute unique outside talent and perspective that helps keep NCCOS at the forefront of management–driven coastal research. NCCOS works with post–doctoral and senior visiting scientists through various programs:
Ernest F. Hollings Visiting Scholar Program
The Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML) Visiting Scholar Program accepts proposals from established investigators seeking collaborative and highly interactive research experience with scientific groups at the HML. Visiting scholars conduct research in collaboration with their sponsoring HML scientist, and provide new technologies, methodologies, research models, data, and intellectual exchange. In return, they benefit from the rich and diverse scientific community at the HML.
For more information, contact HML deputy .
National Academies' Research Associateship Programs
The National Academies' Research Associateship Programs are sponsored by federal laboratories and NASA Research Centers at over one hundred locations in the United States and overseas. Visiting Scholars select the laboratory where they will conduct research.
