AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships

For more than 35 years, the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships have provided scientists and engineers with a unique opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to national and international issues in the federal policy realm, while learning first-hand about establishing and implementing policy.

Fellows select assignments in federal agencies or Congressional offices. This year-long opportunity begins September 1, 2012 and ends August 31, 2013. Most federal agencies offer Fellows the ability to renew their fellowship for a second year.

AAAS seeks candidates from a broad array of backgrounds and a diversity of geographic, disciplinary, gender, and ethnic perspectives. They represent a spectrum of career stages, from recent PhD graduates to faculty on sabbatical to retired scientists and engineers. Fellows also come from a range of sectors, including academia, industry, non-profit organizations, and government labs.

AAAS partners with more than 30 scientific societies that also sponsor fellowships. Please see our website at www.fellowships.aaas.org for more details.
