[ES_JOBS_NET] AMS Fellowship in Science Policy

[Paul Higgins]

Dear friends and colleagues,



Please share this announcement with anyone who might be interested in a
1-year policy fellowship. As noted, we welcome applicants from a broad
range of educational and disciplinary backgrounds and we often find that a
combination of writing and analytic skills is at least as important as
specific familiarity with weather, water, and climate science.



Thanks!

Paul

The American Meteorological Society (AMS) Policy Program is seeking a
candidate from the Earth and environmental system sciences for a 1-year
policy fellowship to help the nation and the world deal with issues in
weather, water, and climate. The position will join a dedicated team in
which each member contributes to a wide range of activities, plays both
supporting and leading roles, and develops new initiatives.



*Position Overview: *

The Policy Fellow will help apply science for public benefit and may
explore the policy dimensions of their scientific field, develop expertise
in new areas of science and policy, help initiate novel activities within
the AMS Policy Program, and contribute to our ongoing activities. The
Policy Fellow will likely contribute to policy studies and analysis (
www.ametsoc.org/studies). Specific opportunities, roles, and
responsibilities vary based on the interests and backgrounds of the fellow
and ongoing projects.



*Qualifications: *

We anticipate that the successful candidate will serve as a postdoctoral
fellow, an IPA, or as a sabbatical (i.e., possess a Doctoral degree). In
exceptional circumstances, candidates with Bachelor's and Master’s degrees
will be considered, as will candidates with equivalent combinations of
education, experience, and training, in the humanities, liberal arts,
social sciences, natural sciences, physical sciences, and engineering.



Candidates should possess:

·       excellent writing ability;

·       enthusiasm for collaboration and teamwork;

·       strong interpersonal skills;

·       aptitude for problem solving;

·       capacity for analysis, research, and synthesis of information.



Our intent is to fit the position to the unique interests and abilities of
the person based on their potential to contribute to the AMS Policy Program.



We anticipate this to be a full-time position. Salary will be commensurate
with education and experience. We offer a comprehensive benefits package
including generous health, dental, and vision coverage, paid vacation, sick
time, and holidays to a Policy Fellow hired as a W-2 employee. Alternative
arrangements, including IPA, sabbatical, and visiting appointments may also
be possible, based on the needs and interests of the applicant and Program.
The Policy Program is based in our Washington D.C. office. This position
may be on-site, hybrid, or remote based on the interests and needs of the
applicant and the Program. *Candidates must be eligible for employment in
the United States, and AMS does not sponsor applicants for work visas.*



*Background: *

The AMS Policy Program promotes informed and thoughtful decision-making
through analysis, communication, innovative problem solving, collaboration,
and research. We help policy-makers and scientists understand one another
and work together more effectively.



The AMS Policy Program uses three primary approaches. We build capacity for
societal engagement within the weather, water, and climate enterprise;
inform the broader society about weather, water, and climate opportunities
and challenges; and advance knowledge and understanding at the interface of
science and policy, particularly related to critical societal issues.



*How to Apply:*

AMS intakes applications through its ADP portal (see link above). We
require a resume, a brief writing sample (no more than 1-2 pages) that has
been minimally edited by others (including AI), and a cover letter that
outlines your interests in policy, societal engagement, and your areas of
interest for this position.
