PhD Plus and the Science Policy Initiative (SPI) at UVA will be hosting a 2.5-hour workshop in August that is specifically designed for graduate students and postdocs who are interested in pursuing science policy fellowship and internship opportunities.
OVERVIEW
The event will include an overview of different types of science policy opportunities (summer internships to postgraduate fellowship programs), a panel discussion featuring national program officers (see below), tips on how to get started, and more. During the panel discussion, participants will hear directly from representatives at AAAS STPF, the National Academies, and NOAA Sea Grant who administer the application process and manage the fellowships, who will share tips and recommendations on how you can craft a strong application for their programs.
