AGU Congressional Science Fellowship
AGU
The AGU Congressional Science Fellowship program places highly qualified and accomplished scientists, engineers, and other professionals in the office of an individual member of Congress or on a committee for a one-year assignment.
The program allows our federal government to more effectively use scientific knowledge and provides scientists with the opportunity to make significant contributions to public policy during their time on Capitol Hill.
For four decades, AGU Congressional Science Fellows (CSFs) have been directly involved in water policy, climate research, energy conservation, and a range of other science-based issues. AGU CSFs have gone on to pursue a wide range of careers from positions in government, both in Congress and at federal agencies, to research positions at academic institutions.
To apply, you must submit your application through https://www.agu.org/Share-and-Advocate/Share/Policymakers/Congressional-Science-Fellowship. If you submit your resume through NSPN, you will receive an email with a link to apply through the AGU website. The deadline for applications is 15 January 2021.
AGU Fellows will receive a stipend of $68,000 for 12 months, plus allowances including up to $1,000 for vouchered travel and moving expenses incurred during relocation, up to $2,000 for appropriate vouchered travel expenses incurred during the fellowship year, and up to $2,000 for travel to AGU Fall Meeting.
Health care coverage is reimbursed by AGU.
The AGU Congressional Fellowship stipend is paid by AGU.

Hellman Science and Technology Policy Fellowship
American Academy of Arts and Sciences
As part of the Academy’s Initiative for Science, Engineering, and Technology, the Hellman Fellowship in Science and Technology Policy provides an opportunity for an early-career professional with training in science or engineering to learn about a career in public policy and administration. While in residence, Hellman Fellows work with senior scientists and policy experts on critical national and international policy issues related to science, engineering, and technology.
Hellman Fellows contribute to new and ongoing projects under the Academy’s Initiative for Science, Engineering, and Technology. The studies explore how science and technology are evolving, how to help the public understand those changes, and how society can better adapt to those changes. The Initiative convenes leading scientists and public policy experts from both academia and industry to advance critical thinking about the evolving landscape for scientific research.
The Hellman Fellowship program has three objectives:
- To support and guide an early-career professional who wants to develop expertise on issues of science, engineering and technology policy;
- To increase the number of 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 expand the scale of Academy projects and studies focused on challenges facing scientific research and science education.
Applications for the 2021-2022 Fellowship are now being accepted on the Academy website, with a deadline of Monday, January 11, 2021.
