Hey folks,In addition to the summer program Charles talked about yesterday, here's a Washington summer program for those of you interested in the intersection of tech and policy:
The Institute for Defense Analyses - Science and Technology
Policy Institute (STPI) is seeking graduate students and
undergraduates who are rising seniors to apply for the summer
associate program.
STPI, located in Washington, D.C., provides high-quality,
objective, analytical support to the White House Office of Science
and Technology Policy (OSTP) in the Executive Office of the
President and other Federal Government organizations. Summer
Associates will be expected to use their critical thinking and
analytic skills to work on challenges in science and technology
(S&T) policy areas, including energy and the environment, space
sciences, innovation and competitiveness, evaluation, life
sciences, information technologies, national security, and STEM
education. Applicants should have a demonstrated interest in
S&T policy (however, previous policy experience is not
required).
