Fellowship for Recent PhDs at DARPA

DARPA recently launched the Innovation Fellowship, a 2-year on-site position for early career scientists (within 5 years of defending). Fellows develop and manage a portfolio of high-risk, high-impact exploratory efforts to identify breakthrough technologies for the Department of Defense.

We’re eager to spread the word about this program, and would appreciate your help in passing along the attached information to current and former graduate students who may be interested, or posting it on department job boards. This is a unique opportunity for scientists to make meaningful contributions while advancing their careers, broadening their research experience outside the laboratory, and engaging with leaders in industry, academia, government, and entrepreneurial circles.

QUAD FELLOWSHIP

The Institute of International Education (IIE) is pleased to announce the application for the second cohort of the Quad Fellowship is now open to exceptional master’s and doctoral students in science and technology who demonstrate academic excellence, exceptional results in their field, and a desire to use their talents to promote collective good. The fellowship, initiated by the Quad countries of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, and administered by IIE, sponsors exceptional STEM master’s and doctoral students to study in the United States.  The reach of Quad Fellowship has expanded – the application, for the academic year 2024-2025 is now open to distinguished candidates from the four Quad countries of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, as well as candidates from the ten ASEAN countries of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

The Quad Fellowship is a first-of-its-kind fellowship designed to build ties among the next generation of scientists and technologists. It offers an unparalleled blend of financial support, cross-cultural exchange, and networking: 

·         A one-time stipend of US $40,000 for academic expenses

·         Networking opportunities with accomplished minds in STEM, government, and society

·         Multicultural alumni network dedicated to advancing innovation and research for positive social impact

The inaugural cohort of Quad Fellows is a diverse and dynamic array of scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians from the four Quad countries. More than 50% of our inaugural class identifies as women or non-binary and are currently studying across 49 distinct areas of specialization in STEM across the US. Earlier this week, Quad Fellows gathered at the White House to celebrate the successes of the first cohort and mark the launch of the second cycle.

STEM Opportunity

Breakthrough Atlanta’s goal is to develop the next generation of teachers while increasing academic opportunities for Atlanta area students. We are looking for current undergraduate students to serve as our Teaching Fellows over the summer to provide a program to rising 7th through 10th grade students. 

Our application to be a Summer 2024 Teaching Fellow is open. Our regular decision deadline is February 29. We were hoping to connect with Education and STEM departments, as well as related student organizations at local colleges and universities to get the word out. We’d love to come and talk to any education and STEM professors, majors, or students interested in education who are looking for an opportunity for this summer.

The Hazel M. Johnson Fellowship Program

The Hazel M. Johnson Fellowship Program is a 10-week paid climate internship program that focuses on increasing opportunities for emerging leaders of color to learn about, engage with, and enter the environmental and climate sectors with adequate funding, mentorship, and community building. The Fellowship is designed to attract and support Black women and gender-expansive rising juniors, rising seniors, and recent college graduates with demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in the environmental and/or climate sectors. 

Our inaugural cohort will place 12-15 fellows at organizations within the U.S. working across a diverse set of sectors including (but not limited to): policy, clean energy, art, environmental justice, climate tech, and fashion. Black Girl Environmentalist will provide fellows: a $5,000 living & wellness stipend, weekly (virtual) professional development workshops, and an in-person end-of-summer retreat. Partner organizations will cover the fellow’s hourly wage and a modest program fee. I’ve attached an info document below.
