The ASEAN Science and Technology (S&T) Fellowship 2018/2019

• Are you a scientist from ASEAN who wants a breakthrough in your career?
• Are you interested in driving policy debates and data-based decision making to address pressing regional and national level challenges?
• Would you like to expand your professional network within ASEAN and to learn firsthand how ASEAN works on issues related to science and technology (S&T)?

If your answer is YES, the year-long ASEAN Science and Technology Fellowship fits perfectly for you!

The ASEAN S&T Fellowship offers unique and exciting career opportunities. Modeled after the successful AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) Science and Technology Policy Fellowship® Program, it enables early and mid-career scientists who are citizens and residents of ASEAN Member States (AMS) to contribute their knowledge and analytical skills to their national governments. Fellows will be embedded within national-level ministries in to encourage policymakers to use more science-based approaches in their policy- and decision-making.

With the support of ASEAN, USAID and the U.S. Government, up to 16 Fellows will be chosen from across the region to be hosted by a government ministry in their home country to advance science-based decision-making in one of three priority areas:

• Climate Change
• Sustainable Energy, and
• Science, Technology and Innovation Policy
