Apply now: Interested students have until September 30 to submit applications on the IAEA website.
Basic requirements: Applicants are required to be female students who have been accepted by or are already enrolled in a master’s program in a nuclear-related field at an accredited university. Such fields include nuclear engineering, nuclear physics, nuclear chemistry, nuclear medicine, isotopic techniques, radiation biology, nuclear safety, nuclear security, nonproliferation and nuclear law, and certain other technical areas. In addition, students must be from IAEA member countries.
Assessment of applications: Applications will be assessed by an IAEA technical selection committee based on such criteria as the applicant’s entry requirements, educational background, prior achievements, and motivation, as well as the potential impact of the fellowship on the applicant’s career goals and commitment to public service. The committee will also consider other factors, including diversity in geographic area, field of study, and linguistic background.
