New Science and Technology Policy Fellowship at the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences in Cambridge, MA

The American Academy Hellman Fellowship in Science and Technology Policy

As part of the Initiative for Science, Engineering, and Technology, the
American Academy is pleased to announce the establishment of the Hellman
Fellowship in Science and Technology Policy for an early-career
professional with training in science or engineering who is interested
in transitioning to a career in public policy and administration. While
in residence, the Hellman Fellow will work with senior scientists and
policy experts on critical national and international policy issues
related to science, engineering, and technology.

The focus of the work will be on one or more of the ongoing projects
under the Academy's Initiative for Science, Engineering, and Technology
to which the Hellman Fellow will contribute substantively. The mission
of the Initiative is to examine, in broad terms, how the world of
science and technology is evolving, how to help the public understand
these changes, and how society can better adapt. The Initiative brings
together scientists and public policy experts in a neutral setting,
outside of the constraints of the political process.

The overall objectives of the Hellman Fellowship Program are as follows:
To provide a setting and resources for an early-career professional to
develop expertise on issues of science, engineering and technology
policy;
To increase the cadre of young science-policy professionals who are
engaged in substantive discussion of science and engineering research
questions with a broad understanding of their social implications; and
To increase the scale of American Academy projects and studies on
science, engineering, and technology.
Fellowship Eligibility: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in an area of
science or engineering and have some experience or a demonstrated
interest in an area related to science and technology policy. Masters
degrees may be considered in the fields of engineering and computer
science. Strong writing and organizational skills are desired.
Candidates must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or current
employees of an academic or professional organization in the United
States.
