The American Association for the Advancement of Science invites scientists and engineers to apply for one-year science and technology policy fellowships in Washington, DC, beginning September 2001. Fellows serve in the Congress, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the Agency for International Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Justice, and other federal offices. These programs are designed to provide each Fellow with a unique public policy learning experience and to bring technical backgrounds and external perspectives to decision-making in the U.S. government. Engineers with a master's degree and at least three years of post-degree professional experience may also apply.
Federal employees are ineligible.
