The Scientific Citizenship Initiative is accepting applications for a year-long Massachusetts science and technology policy fellowship. Four places are advertised for an in-person programme beginning in Boston on February 22, 2027.
What the opportunity provides
The programme includes policy work, training and mentoring. Its main webpage describes a US$75,000 stipend with health coverage, while the application form describes a US$75,000 salary-and-benefits package. Candidates should ask the programme to clarify the compensation structure rather than assume the two descriptions guarantee the same take-home amount.
Who can apply
Applicants must complete their STEM doctorate and all associated academic responsibilities by February 1, 2027. They need authorisation to work in the United States throughout the fellowship. Interest in public service and the ability to communicate science are relevant requirements; sponsorship should not be assumed.
How to apply
Read the programme guidance and complete the official application form. Assess the full-time, in-person commitment before applying, including the Boston location and February start.
Deadline
Priority applications are due November 15, 2026. The final date is November 29, 2026, and the form gives 11:59 ET without specifying AM or PM. After the priority date, consideration is rolling only if places remain. Confirm the closing clock and aim for the priority deadline.
