The Presidents of the National Academies have just decided to add a new
Fall 2002 session to its science and technology policy internship program
for graduate students and postdocs in science and engineering. Please
forward this announcement to interested and qualified graduate students
and postdocs. Please also note that the deadline is fast
approaching: June 1, 2002.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE CHRISTINE MIRZAYAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES, WASHINGTON, D.C.
This Internship Program of the National Academies consisting of the
National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute
of Medicine, and National Research Councils designed to engage graduate
and postdoctoral students in science and technology policy and to
familiarize them with the interactions among science, technology, and
government. As a result, students in the fields of science, engineering,
medicine, veterinary medicine, business, and law develop essential skills
different from those attained in academia, which will help them make the
transition from being a graduate student to a professional.
We are pleased to announce a new fall 2002 program session expanding our
program beyond its current summer and winter sessions. The fall
2002 program will take place from September 9 until November 27,
2002.
To apply, candidates should submit an application and request their
mentor fill out a reference form. Both are available on the Web at
http://national-academies.org/internship.
The deadline for receipt of materials is June 1. Additional details
about the program and how to join our mailing list are also available on
the Web site. Questions should be directed to:
internship@nas.edu.
Here is what four former interns said about the program:
"This is an important career building opportunity for people
interested in the scientific community outside academia. Even if
you plan to pursue a traditional academic track, seeing science from a
policy perspective is very enlightening. There is something
valuable in this experience for first year grad students to recent
PhD’s. Come with an open mind and expect to learn more than you
bargained for."
"The National Academies Internship has been one of the most valuable
life experiences I have had thus far. The scope of the influence of
the Academies in helping shape science, medical and engineering related
policy is amazing to witness. Through this internship, I have
learned more about my work as a social scientist than I imagined, and I
have a better sense of how my research can relate to public
policy."
"The Internship program provides an exceptional opportunity for
scientists to explore various facets of scholarly research and policy
making. As an intern, you will work with an eclectic mix of highly
educated, diverse intellectuals who help advance the future of science.
You will leave not only armed with important and influential contacts but
also with invaluable skills and experiences."
"This program will open your mind to a world rarely envisioned from
the confines of laboratory bench work. I learned an immeasurable amount
about the policy and politics behind science and after the internship
opens your mind, it opens career doors."
