This is a reminder to members of all AIP Member Societies - application materials
for the 2007-2008 AIP State Department Science Fellowship must be postmarked
by NOVEMBER 1, 2006. For scientists interested in the nexus between
foreign policy and science, there is still time to apply to this program.
As an AIP State Department Fellow, you will experience a unique year
in Washington, making a personal contribution to U.S. foreign policy
while learning how the policy-making process operates. The AIP State
Department Science Fellowship places one or more qualified scientists
in the State Department for a 12-month term to apply their knowledge
and analytical skills to S&T issues that are international in scope.
An annual contribution to the AIP Fellowship is provided by the American
Astronomical Society.
AIP is currently seeking applicants for the 2007-2008 State Department
Science Fellowship. The term will start in the fall of 2007. Qualified
scientists at any stage of their career are encouraged to apply. Information
