Paid Fellowship Opportunity for STEM Professionals: Aspen Institute’s Science & Technology Policy Fellowship

[Aspen Policy Academy]

Hi Colleagues, 

We wanted to share an upcoming paid fellowship opportunity from the Aspen Institute for STEM and climate-focused professionals. Applications are open for the Aspen Policy Academy’s summer 2025 Science & Technology Policy Fellowship. This training program will equip experts, from AI engineers to ecologists, with the tools and knowledge they need to impact policy.

Important information and dates:

• The Fellowship will run full-time, in-person in San Francisco from June 3-27

• Applications are due at 11:59pm PT on Tuesday, February 18

• Applicants must be 21 or older, be based in the US, and have science, climate, or tech expertise

• Fellows will receive a $7,500 base stipend with an additional $5,000 for those participating in the remote policy project phase

• The program is intended for those with little to no policy experience 

The Fellowship will consist of two blocks: 1) a mandatory, in-person, full-time, immersive policy bootcamp that teaches participants the basics of policymaking and 2) an optional final project. The policy bootcamp will take place from June 3-27, 2025, at Tides Converge in San Francisco. Fellows will have the option to work remotely part-time on a final project from June 30-August 25, 2025. You can view past fellows' projects here. 

The Academy staff will host an informational webinar on February 13 to help answer any questions from potential applicants. Click here to register.
