AIP State Department Science Fellowship Program
This newly established program represents an opportunity
for scientists to make a unique and substantial contribution to the
nation's foreign policy. Under this new program, AIP will sponsor one
fellow annually to spend a year working in a bureau or office of the
State Department, providing scientific and technical expertise to the
Department while becoming actively and directly involved in the foreign
policy process. Fellows are required to be US citizens and members
of one or more of the 10 AIP Member Societies at the time of application.
Qualifications include a Ph.D. in physics or closely related field.
In exceptional cases, the PhD requirement may be waived for applicants
with equivalent research experience. Applicants should possess familiarity
with, or experience in, scientific or technical aspects of foreign
policy. There is a stipend of $49,000 per year plus allowances toward
relocation, in-service travel, and health insurance premiums. Applications
should consist of a cover letter, indicating names of references, Ph.D.
status, society memberships, and where you learned of fellowship; letter
of intent providing reason for applying, scientific training and professional
experience, foreign policy interest; resume; and three letters of reference
sent directly. All application materials must be postmarked by April
15, 2001 and sent to: AIP State Department Science Fellowship, American
Institute of Physics, ATTN: Audrey Leath, One Physics Ellipse, College
Park, MD 20740-3843. For additional information, please contact Audrey
