Hellman and Simons Fellow for Science, Engineering, and Technology

The Hellman and Simons Fellowship in Science and Technology Policy provides an early-career postdoctoral professional with training in science or engineering the opportunity to learn about a career in science policy and non-profit administration. While in residence, Hellman and Simons Fellows work with senior scientists, policy experts, and industry leaders on critical national and international policy issues related to interdisciplinary issues in science, engineering, and technology. The fellowship is a staff-based position within the Science Engineering and Technology program. Fellows contribute to ongoing projects while gaining exposure to science policy, nonprofit administration, and the Academy’s convening model.

The Hellman and Simons Fellowship is funded through a generous partnership between the Hellman Foundation of San Francisco, CA and the Simons Foundation of New York, NY.

Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is both an honorary society that recognizes and celebrates the excellence of its members and an independent research center convening leaders from across disciplines, professions, and perspectives to address significant challenges. Academy projects bring together elected members and subject matter experts in cross-disciplinary efforts to produce independent and pragmatic studies that inform public policy and advance the public good. The Academy is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion and looks to all its staff members to foster and promote its values.
