The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydropower Office enables research, development, and testing of emerging technologies to advance marine energy as well as next-generation hydropower and pumped storage systems for a flexible, reliable grid.
Marine energy technologies convert the energy of waves, tides, and river and ocean currents into electricity and have the potential to provide millions of Americans with locally sourced, reliable energy. The DOE-funded Marine Energy Fellowship: Graduate Student Track will strengthen those efforts by preparing graduate students for careers in marine energy important to the Hydropower Office by providing opportunities at DOE laboratories, industry organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), nonprofits, and other DOE-approved facilities.
Marine Energy Fellowship applications are reviewed (and offers are made) two times per year:
Summer Cohort | Start Dates: May-July. Application Deadline: December 12, 2025 at 5:00pm ET.
Fall Cohort | Start Dates: August-October. Application Deadline: March 27, 2026 at 5:00pm ET.
