Call for Fellows: Idaho Science and Technology Policy Fellowship

The Idaho Science and Technology Policy Fellowship (ISTPF), a nonpartisan program, is thrilled to announce the fourth call for ISTP fellows. This is an opportunity for outstanding scientists, social scientists and engineers to learn firsthand about policymaking while using their knowledge and skills to address pressing challenges facing Idaho. Fellows support decision makers in Idaho, serving in yearlong assignments in state agencies or the legislature. Portfolios include topics such as water, energy, fire, public health, economic development and more.

An online information session will be held Thursday, February 23, 1-2:00 PM MST. Access the information session here: https://uidaho.zoom.us/j/88430124333

A doctoral level science or social science degree (e.g., PhD. ScD, MD, DDS, DVM) or a master’s in engineering and three years of work experience is required. ISTP fellows are provided with compensation, benefits, orientation, professional development, mentorship, a travel allowance and administrative support.
