Are you interested in the intersection of your work or research with policy? Wondering what it’s like to be a policy fellow, and how it might affect your career trajectory? Join us for a conversation with postdocs-turned-AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellows (STPF)!

During this one-hour session you’ll:

• Learn about the AAAS S&T Policy Fellowships program and the 250+ scientists and engineers who spend a year contributing to policy across the federal government.
• Meet several STPF fellows and learn how their year in Washington expanded their skills, knowledge and networks.
• Break into groups for more personal conversation with the fellows.

Leave this session knowing what it’s like to be an STPF fellow, with additional science policy resources, and with tips for applying to this year’s application cycle.

About the Fellowship

STPF is a paid, yearlong opportunity for doctoral-level scientists and engineers to learn first-hand about policymaking while contributing their knowledge and analytical skills to the federal policymaking process. Fellows serve yearlong assignments in the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the federal government in Washington. Fellows are scientists, social scientists and engineers, representing a broad range of disciplines. They also span career stage, including postdocs, faculty on sabbatical, and mid- and senior-career scientists and engineers seeking career growth.
