AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships

Picture yourself as a AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow

Make a Difference: Help give science a greater voice in Washington, DC! Since 1973, AAAS Fellows have applied their skills to federal decision making processes that affect people in the U.S. and around the world, while learning first-hand about the government and policymaking.

Join the Network: Year-long fellowships are available in the U.S. Congress and federal agencies. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent doctoral level degree in any behavioral/social, biological, computational/mathematical, earth, medical/health, or physical science, or any engineering discipline. Individuals with a master’s degree in engineering and three years of post-degree professional experience also may apply. Federal employees are not eligible and U.S. citizenship is required.

Apply: The application deadline for the 2013-2014 AAAS Fellowships is 5 December. Fellowships are awarded in the spring and begin in September. Stipends range from $74,000 to $97,000.
