What Fellows Say
“Using Nuvolos made it significantly easier to manage the computational environment for my dissertation work. It helped streamline my workflow, ensure full reproducibility, and focus on the research itself rather than setup issues. For any PhD student working with complex code and data, Nuvolos is a valuable asset.”

FAQs
Here are answers to common questions about eligibility, evaluation, and benefits.
Q: Do I need to be a full-time PhD student?
A: No. We welcome PhD candidates, postdocs and RSE professionals.
Q: Is my university eligible for the Nuvolos PhD Fellowship Program?
A: Eligible universities are accredited research institutions that award research degrees to PhD students in computational sciences (or any adjacent fields): e.g. applied mathematics, statistics, econometrics, computational biology, physics, etc.
Q: How are applications evaluated?
A: We evaluate applications on the strength of the research proposal, the expected research impact, and student academic achievements. Strong research proposals involve innovative concepts relevant to the computational sciences that can benefit from the Nuvolos platform. Essay responses are evaluated in addition to application materials to determine an overall recommendation.
We will not consider incomplete proposals.
After we have notified Nuvolos PhD Fellowship recipients, the Fellowship is effective starting the following academic semester.
Q: Is there a stipend?
A: The fellowship provides Nuvolos cloud credits worth of and professional development opportunities rather than direct cash funding.
Q: I have an additional question not addressed here.
