Welcome
Interested in cutting edge research in the broad Energy and Supporting areas and an opportunity to pursue a PhD at one of PI partner institutions?
The Petroleum Institute is inviting applications from highly qualified candidates who are interested in pursuing graduate studies. Current major areas of interest are:
The Institute has a Masters degree program and its strategic five-year plan calls for the launch of the Ph.D. program in AY 2010-2011. In the interim period, qualified students who meet the admission requirements of both the PI and the selected partner institution can do their course work and carry out their doctoral research through a joint program between the PI and the partner institution, with the understanding that the degree will be conferred by the partner institution. This is a great opportunity for students with high academic credentials who aspire to complete their Ph.D. at world-class universities through joint collaboration with the Petroleum Institute. In all cases, however, the candidate must meet the admission standards of the partner institution to get admitted to their program.
PI faculty are involved in a number of challenging fundamental and applied research projects. Example project areas are at Overview of Research Projects at PI.
