Jefferson Science Fellowship due Jan. 14
The National Academies is pleased to announce a
call for nominations and applications for the
2013 Jefferson Science Fellows program. Initiated
by the Secretary of State in 2003, this
fellowship program engages the American academic
science, technology, engineering and medical
communities in the design and implementation of U.S. foreign policy.
Jefferson Science Fellows (JSF) spend one year at
the U.S. Department of State or the U.S. Agency
for International Development (USAID) for an
on-site assignment in Washington, D.C. that may
also involve extended stays at U.S. foreign embassies and/or missions.
The fellowship is open to tenured, or similarly
ranked, academic scientists, engineers and
physicians from U.S. institutions of higher
learning. Nominees/applicants must hold U.S.
citizenship and will be required to obtain a security clearance.
The deadline for 2013-2014 program year
applications/nominations is January 14, 2013. To
