<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear All,</div><div><br></div><div>I think there are probably linguistic anthropologists who would qualify for this quick-turnaround fellowship related to AI. And even if this is not a good fit now, you or others you know might want to apply for <a href="https://www.aaas.org/programs/science-technology-policy-fellowships">the regular AAAS S&T Policy Fellowship</a>. Don't be put off by the "Science & Technology" in the fellowship's title; PhDs in many disciplines, including ling anth are eligible. (I had one myself 10 or so years ago.) For the regular AAAS S&T fellowship (unlike the special AI-related opportunity below), you do need a PhD, and I think you need to be a US citizen or permanent resident for both, though I'm not 100% sure. A similar fellowship that does not require a PhD, however, is the <a href="https://www.pmf.gov/">Presidential Management Fellowship</a>. I wish more anthropologists would apply for both of these fellowships because there is a desperate need for anthropological expertise in the government!</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck to you all!</div><div><br></div><div>Laura Ahearn<br></div><div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">AAAS S&T Policy Fellowships</b> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:noreply@stpf-aaas.org" target="_blank">noreply@stpf-aaas.org</a>></span><br>Date: Fri, Jul 21, 2023 at 2:23 PM<br>Subject: Urgent: Apply by 8/5 or Nominate - Rapid Response AI Fellows in Congress<br>To: <<a href="mailto:ahearn8@gmail.com" target="_blank">ahearn8@gmail.com</a>><br></div><br><br><div><u></u>
