Graduate Assistantships & Fellowships
The Stokes School of Marine & Environmental Sciences has several openings for qualified students who want to advance their education in marine and environmental sciences. The ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab have an international reputation in graduating talented and highly competitive graduate students.
The ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ offers a limited number of graduate fellowships for highly competitive students seeking Ph.D.s as well as extramurally supported graduate assistantship and university-based teaching assistantships for M.S. and Ph.D. students. All fellowships and assistantships offer competitive pay (M.S. $19,200-$22,200) and (Ph.D. $22,200-$25,200), student health insurance and tuition remission.
Interested students are encouraged to contact prospective faculty mentors and apply by February 15, 2026 for full consideration. Students may be based at the University's main campus in Mobile or Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Students should contact advisors as soon as possible to attend a recruitment weekend in late January.
Additional fellowships are available through the Dauphin Island Sea Lab-FDA Joint Fellowship Program, which enables students to work collaboratively with faculty from both institutions on research that informs seafood safety and public health. .
