The American Physical Society and The American Institute of Physics are currently accepting applications for their 1998-1999 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, for the AIP Fellowship, a member of any of the AIP Member Societies at time of application. In exceptional cases, the Ph. D requirement may be waived for applicants with compensating experience.
