AIP Seeks Applicants for State Department Fellowship



AIP is seeking qualified scientists to apply for the 2019-2020 AIP State Department Fellowship program by Oct. 15.






If you are an individual interested in the intersection of science, policy, and international affairs, AIP encourages you to apply for an AIP State Department Fellowship. The application deadline for the 2019-2020 term is Oct. 15.



This fellowship aims to enhance the S&T capacity of the department by enabling a scientist or engineer to work at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., for a one-year term. In turn, fellows will interact with policymakers and gain an understanding of the foreign policy process. Past AIP fellows have worked on topics as varied as nuclear weapons forensics, critical infrastructure protection, export controls, use of remote sensing imagery, and biotechnology.



The fellowship includes a $77,500 stipend, health insurance reimbursement, relocation funds, and a professional development allotment.

Qualified individuals at any stage of their career are encouraged to apply. Applicants must possess the following:

AIP is not involved in the fellow's placement. However, AIP does encourage its fellows to seek opportunities beyond the traditional roles for scientists in the State Department when interviewing for an assignment to broaden the reach and visibility of scientific expertise within the department. Please contact Bethany Johns (bjohns at aip.org<mailto:bjohns at aip.org>, 301-209-3137) if you have questions.

AIP appreciates the support for this fellowship provided by the American Astronomical Society, an AIP Member Society.
