Social Sciences
Colleagues, I believe this is an excellent opportunity for faculty working at the intersection of science, policy, international development, and society. Please share this with your colleagues and let me know if you know of anyone who would be a solid candidate for this program. Thanks!
I hope the semester has gotten off to a good start for you. I wanted to share an opportunity for some of your engagement- and policy-minded faculty. The Jefferson Science Fellows program was established to engage U.S. faculty in science, technology, engineering, and medicine in the design and implementation of U.S. foreign policy. Each year, Jefferson Science Fellows are selected based on their stature within their scientific or disciplinary communities, their ability to integrate scientific knowledge into international policy discussions, and their experience in areas that are important to policy discussions and processes going on at the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Fellows are selected through a competitive process and, if selected, spend one year at the State Department or at USAID. Their assignment may also include extended stays at U.S. foreign embassies and/or missions. Up to 15 Fellows are expected to be selected in the 2016 competition.
Drs. Jean Ristaino and Mohammed Zikry here at NC State have served as Jefferson Science Fellows.
The application deadline for the 2016 competition is November 2, 2015. Application information can be found at www.nas.edu/jsf. Please distribute this information as appropriate to your faculty, and of course please let me know if I can assist in some way, should a faculty member wish to apply.
Best,
Katharine
