<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The American Institute of Physics is now seeking applicants for its 2014-2015 State Department Science Fellowship.
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The application deadline is November 1, 2013.</span></em><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Issues involving science and technology (S&T) are an important part of the U.S.’s diplomatic portfolio, making it essential for the U.S. Department of State to have
knowledgeable scientific input. Through its State Department Science Fellowship program, the American Institute of Physics offers an opportunity for scientists to make a unique and substantial contribution to the foreign policy process by spending a year working
at the U.S. State Department. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This is an exceptional opportunity for a scientist to contribute scientific and technical expertise to the Department and raise awareness of the value of scientific
input. In turn, scientists broaden their experience by interacting with policymakers in the federal government and learning about the foreign policy process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">AIP does not take a role in the Fellow’s placement, but does encourage its Fellows to seek opportunities beyond the traditional roles for scientists in the department
when interviewing for an assignment, to broaden the reach and visibility of scientific expertise within the Department. AIP Fellows have worked on topics as varied as critical infrastructure protection, export controls, use of remote sensing imagery, biotechnology
and the safety of agricultural products, emerging S&T issues, European and Russian science policy, and the World Summit on Sustainable Development. AIP’s first State Department Fellow subsequently served for several years as the Science and Technology Adviser
to the Secretary of State. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">AIP is grateful for annual contributions from the
<a href="http://aas.org/">American Astronomical Society</a> to help support the State Department Science Fellowship program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><strong><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Application Information and Qualifications:</span></strong><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Qualified scientists at any stage of their career are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, have a PhD in physics or a closely related field, be members
of one or more of <a href="http://www.aip.org/aip/societies.html">AIP’s Member Societies</a> and be eligible to receive an appropriate security clearance prior to starting the Fellowship.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">For information on AIP’s Fellowship program qualifications and application instructions, please visit our
<a href="http://www.aip.org/gov/fellowships/sdf.html">website</a>. Application components include a letter of intent, resume and three letters of recommendation. Developing a clear, comprehensive and competitive application takes significant time. Start early
and contact your references as soon as possible. All application materials must be received by the November 1 deadline.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Final interviews will take place early in 2014 and the 12-month Fellowship term will begin in September 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Please see our
