Subject: Congressional and Executive Branch Fellowships
Hi Debbie,
Would you be willing to help us with Fellowship recruitment by circulating the call for applications, which are attached, to relevant listserves?
Spend a year on Capitol Hill or at a federal agency
APA is seeking applications for its 2008–09 Congressional Fellowship and Science Policy Executive Branch Fellowship Programs. Through the programs up to six psychologists spend a year in Washington, D.C., learning about federal policy-making. Working as special legislative assistants in congressional member or committee offices, Congressional Fellows engage in many facets of policy-making, including legislative and oversight work, staffing legislators at hearings, preparing briefs and writing speeches. Special fellowships are available for mid-career psychologists and those with expertise in health and behavior issues.
The Executive Branch Fellow gains crucial experience in science policy and research coordination working in a federal science agency, such as the White House or the National Institutes of Health.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens and APA members, and hold a doctoral degree in psychology or a related field. A minimum of two years of experience postdoctorate is preferred. Both programs provide a yearlong stipend, a supplement for relocation and travel expenses during the year, and an additional monthly stipend for health insurance and other fellowship-related expenses.
For more information on the fellowships and application process, visit www.apa.org/ppo/fellows or contact the Public Interest Government Relations Office at (202) 336-5935. Applications are due on Jan. 3 and 7, respectively, for the Congressional and Executive Branch Fellowships, with selections made in early spring.
