FUNDING TYPE

Fellowship

CAN YOU GET THIS?

Open globally to early and growth-stage professionals with demonstrated interest or experience in ocean science, AI, digital media, archiving, or immersive technology.

The fellowship runs four distinct tracks: AI/ML, Digital Correspondent, Digital Asset Archives, and Immersive Media. All tracks require interest in ocean literacy and responsible use of emerging technologies; no citizenship restriction is listed.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Competitiveness is not disclosed, but this is a selective, paid, full-time six-month fellowship run by a high-profile international organization.

IIE administers competitive global programs; expect a rigorous review. The cohort size is not stated publicly, so treat this as a selective opportunity and tailor your application to one specific track.

WHAT IT TAKES

Choose one of four tracks and confirm your background fits its essential functions — 1–2 hours
Prepare application materials (CV, cover letter, work samples relevant to your chosen track) — 3–5 hours
Submit via IIE's application portal before the deadline — 30 minutes

WORTH KNOWING

Every track this cohort explicitly prioritizes AI literacy—even the archiving and media roles. Showing concrete experience applying AI tools responsibly will strengthen any application, not just the AI Fellow track.
