Opportunity for Grad School $$ support in Science and Technology
Julia Melkers, Eric Welch and Sharon Mastracci at University of Illinois at Chicago are looking for a top-notch graduate student interested in science and technology who would like to pursue a doctoral degree in Public Administration and would also like to be funded !
They have been funded by NSF for $1.23M for 3 years to study networks for women in science. The project starts immediately.
Their hope is that the doctoral students funded on this project are not only highly interested in the topic and methodology, but that they would also use the project for their dissertations.
Our deadline for PhD applications for January admission is November 1.
More information on our doctoral program may be found at: http://www.uic.edu/cuppa/pa/

CHRISTINE MIRZAYAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, WASHINGTON, D.C.
This Graduate Fellowship Program of the National Academies-consisting of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering,Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council-is designed to engage graduate and postdoctoral students in science and technology policy and to familiarize them with the interactions among science, technology, and government. As a result, students in the fields of science, engineering, medicine, veterinary medicine, business, and law develop essential skills different from those attained in academia, which will help them make the transition from being a graduate student to a professional.
