North Carolina Sea Grant is accepting applications for the 2021-22 NC STEM Policy Fellowship. Graduate students trained at North Carolina institutions of higher education will be placed into high-level state government offices focusing on policy topics related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, often known collectively as STEM.
Sea Grant oversaw a pilot program in 2020-21. Funds provided through Sea Grant and a generous matching grant from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund allow for additional fellows to begin Aug. 1, 2021. The fellowships are full-time positions at 40 hours per week working for one year with the host offices.
âThe North Carolina fellows gain valuable experience and professional development opportunities while working in host offices engaged in STEM policy and policymaking processes,â explains Susan White, North Carolina Sea Grantâs executive director.
