SUTD-MIT Graduate Fellows Program Seeking MIT Graduate Students
Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
The MIT-SUTD Collaboration Office in collaboration with the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is seeking to appoint up to 3 exceptional graduate students for a special one-year program that includes six months at MIT and six months at the Singapore University of Technology and Design in Singapore. This unique program is focused on bringing top-flight MIT graduate students to Singapore to participate in co-teaching and research activities.
We are seeking especially candidates who will be able to teach SUTD classes in Fall 2013 in SUTD’s new interdepartmental pillars: Information Systems Technology and Design, Engineering Product Development, Architecture and Sustainable Design, and Engineering Systems and Design. Graduate students in Engineering and Architecture who have passed their qualifying exams are encouraged to apply. Graduate students will be fully funded for the year by the MIT-SUTD Collaboration office.
While at MIT, Graduate Fellows will take coursework that prepares them for the time in Singapore during which they will serve as a teaching assistant in one of the pillar courses. The Fellow will also be expected to devote 50% of his or her time at both MIT and SUTD continuing research for their PhD thesis.
The application deadline for this intake of SUTD-MIT Graduate Fellows is ongoing, but for consideration for funding in 2013, please contact Jon Griffith by November 15, 2012.
