Jefferson Science Fellowships

The Jefferson Science Fellowships place experienced university faculty in a one-year immersive assignment at the U.S. Department of State to engage them in U.S. foreign policy and international development. The programme is intended for senior academic scientists and engineers (tenured or similarly ranked faculty) and facilitates direct engagement between academia and policy making. Fellows serve for one year in Washington, D.C., contributing technical expertise to policy and program decisions.
