The American Physical Society and The American Institute of Physics are currently accepting applications for their 1997-1998 Congressional Science Fellowship Programs.
Fellows serve one year on the staff of a senator, representative, or congressional committee.
They are afforded an opportunity to learn the legislative process and explore science policy issues from the lawmakers' perspective. In turn, Fellows may lend scientific and technical expertise to public policy issues. Fellows are required to be U.S. citizens and be members of APS or, for the AIP Fellowship, any of the AIP Member Societies. In exceptional cases, the Ph.D. requirement may be waived for applicants with compensating experience. Choice of congressional assignment is reserved to Fellows.
