Scholars  are invited from the following fields only: agricultural sciences, anthropology, bioengineering, chemistry, computer science (including, but not limited to, cyber security, digital economy, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analytics), economics, education policy and planning, energy studies, geography (including GIS and geology), history, language and literature, materials science (with emphasis on environmental applications), mathematical sciences, neuroscience, performing arts, physics, political science (including, but not limited to, international security and strategic studies), public health, public policy, sociology, urban and regional planning (with emphasis on smart cities and waste management), visual arts, and women's and gender studies.

Eligibility: In the United States, Canada, and Europe, accredited Ph.D. granting institutions may nominate eligible students during the application period, which opens on September 1^st. Students cannot directly apply. Nominees must be full-time graduate students pursuing a Ph.D. and enrolled in an institution in Canada, Europe, or the U.S. They must have completed graduate coursework by the academic award year when the Fellowship begins. Students must remain enrolled as full-time Ph.D. students for the duration of the Fellowship. Students who are already supported by a comparable industry award are not eligible.

Benefits: Fellowships directly support graduate students as they pursue their Ph.D., as well as connect them to a Google Research Mentor. Students receive named Fellowships, which include a monetary award; this is given directly to the university to be distributed to cover the student’s expenses and stipend as appropriate.

Explanation: The Google PhD Fellowship Program recognizes outstanding graduate students doing exceptional and innovative research. The Fellowships are awarded to students who represent the future of research in the following fields: algorithms, optimizations and markets ; computational neuroscience; health research; human-computer interaction; machine learning; machine perception, speech technology and computer vision; mobile computing; natural language processing (including information retrieval and extraction); privacy and security; programming languages and software engineering; quantum computing; structured data and database management; and systems and networking
