Applications are now being accepted for the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships (STPF). STPF is the premier opportunity for outstanding scientists, social scientists and engineers to learn first-hand about policymaking while contributing their knowledge and analytical skills to address today’s most pressing challenges. Fellows serve yearlong assignments in all three branches of the federal government in Washington, D.C. and represent a broad range of backgrounds, disciplines and career stages.
Join a strong corps of over 3,000 policy-savvy alumni fellows working across sectors to serve the nation and citizens around the world.
The application deadline for the 2018-19 fellowship year is November 1, 2017. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship and a doctoral level degree. Applicants with an M.S. in engineering and three years of professional experience also qualify.
If you had the opportunity to affect policy, what would it be? The possibilities are endless. Hear what fellows had to say.
Learn more about STPF by joining an upcoming live chat or viewing previous chats in the series. Hear directly from fellows and alumni and learn how they’ve been impacting science policy for over 44 years -- and how you can use your STEM background to transform your career. The next live chat is October 12, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Register here: https://www.aaas.org/event/stpf/chat-series-policy-fellowships-change-world-and-you-4

I shared!
In all seriousness, I've known several Fellows and they've all really enjoyed and gotten a lot out of their experiences. Who is looking for a sabbatical?
