[Jpjobs] Now Accepting Applications for the January 2015 Christine Mirzayan S&T Policy Graduate Fellowship Program

[Julia Westwater]

Good Morning,

The Mirzayan Fellowship Program Office is pleased to announce that the 
National Academies is accepting applications for the January 2015 
session of the Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Graduate 
Fellowship Program.

The online application is available at:

http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/policyfellows/index.htm

We encourage you to share this information with qualified individuals.

The Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship 
Program is designed to engage early career individuals in the analytical 
processes that inform U.S. science and technology policy. Fellows obtain 
the essential skills and knowledge needed to work in science and 
technology policy at the federal, state, or local levels.  Fellows spend 
12 weeks at the National Academies in Washington, DC learning about 
science and technology policy and the role that scientists and engineers 
play in advising the nation. Each year, applicants from around the world 
become part of a National Academies committee, board, or unit.  Each 
fellow is assigned to a senior staff member who acts as his or her 
mentor. The mentor provides guidance and ensures that the fellow’s time 
is focused on substantive projects and activities within the fellow’s 
assigned unit.  An immersive experience, the program is designed to 
broaden fellows’ appreciation of employment opportunities outside 
academia and leave them with both a firm grasp of the important and 
dynamic role of science and technology in decision-making and a better 
understanding of the role that they can play in strengthening the 
science and technology enterprise for the betterment of mankind.
