[ES_JOBS_NET] Register for the 2019 AMS Summer Policy Colloquium

[Kenza Sidi-Ali-Cherif]

Dear Colleague,

Are you interested in putting your science to work for public benefit while developing your leadership skills? Then register now for the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Summer Policy Colloquium in Washington, D.C., June 2 - June 11, 2019!
 
The AMS has organized this unique and highly successful science policy immersion workshop for seventeen years, providing scientists with knowledge about the policy process and training to engage in science policy effectively and responsibly.
 
Each year, around 40 earth and atmospheric scientists from academia, government, and the private sector meet for ten days in Washington, D.C. where they have access to high-level Executive and Congressional decision makers. Participants learn from leaders in the federal agencies and Executive Office of the President, bipartisan Congressional staff members, and other leaders engaged in the policy process. The Colloquium also offers visits to Capitol Hill, hands-on workshops, and case studies of current issues in the earth and atmospheric sciences.
 
Participants complete the Colloquium with a deeper appreciation for the policy process and are equipped with tools for being effective in the policy arena. They also build a network of contacts and resources that will help them engage in science policy. To date, some 600 people have attended the Colloquium. Colloquium alumni are now working for Congress, federal agencies, in corporate management positions, nongovernmental organizations, and university leadership positions. More information, including participant biographies and agendas from previous years, is available at http://ametsoc.org/spc. <http://iz4.me/xjDV5z0VLPf1>
 
All interested individuals are welcome to apply. The online application for the AMS Summer Policy Colloquium is open, and can be found on our website here <http://iz4.me/0kDV5z0VLPf1>. The deadline to register is April 19, 2019. But participation is limited to 40 individuals, on a first-come, first-served basis.
 
Important Note for Graduate Students: A limited number of graduate students and faculty will be awarded full financial support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), based on a national competition. Those interested in applying for NSF funding must also submit an NSF application by March 15, 2019, in addition to registering.
