AAAS--EPA Environmental Science and Engineering Summer Fellowships

The program is designed to provide an opportunity to learn first-hand
how scientific and technological information is used in environmental 
policy-making in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 
Broad areas of research interest within the EPA include human and 
environmental risk assessment; environmental socioeconomic concerns;
hazardous air pollutants; and innovative technologies such as green 
technologies, to name a few.

Summer Environmental Fellowships: Fellows will work at the U.S.
    Environmental Protection Agency headquarters in Washington, D.C.
    for 10 weeks in the summer as special research consultants. The
    detailed, future-oriented research assists EPA in assessing the
    significance of long-range environmental problems. The program
    is coordinated by EPA's National Center for Environmental Research
    and Quality Assurance (NCERQA) within the Office of Research and
    Development (ORD).

Eligibility: Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral level
    degree at the time of application. Persons with a master's degree in
    engineering and at least three years post-degree experience may also
    apply. All applicants must be U.S. citizens. Federal employees are
    not eligible for the fellowships.

Period: The fellowship program begins in early June and ends in early 
    August, for a total of ten weeks. 

Stipend: A weekly stipend of $1,000, with allowances for relocation and
    professional travel.

Deadline: All applications must be postmarked by January 15, 1998. In 
    addition to the application materials required, applicants to the 
    Summer Environmental Fellowship Program are asked to write an essay
    that describes and justifies a topic they would like to pursue during
    their fellowship. This topic should address a current or anticipated
    environmental problem of relevance to EPA's mission. The essay should
    not exceed two typed pages.
