AMS Congressional Fellowship The American Mathematical Society (AMS) will
sponsor a Congressional Fellow from September 2021 through August 2022. The
fellowship includes an orientation on congressional and executive branch
operations, and a year-long seminar series involving science, technology and
public policy. The AMS congressional fellow will spend the year working on the
staff of a Member of Congress or a congressional committee, as a legislative
assistant in legislative and policy areas requiring scientific and technical
input. The AMS Congressional Fellowship is part of the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowship (STPF) program. It is designed to provide a unique public policy learning experience, to demonstrate the value of science-government interaction, and to bring a technical background and external perspective to the decision-making process in the Congress. Prospective Fellows must demonstrate expertise in an area of mathematical sciences; possess a good scientific and technical background; understand and demonstrate sensitivity toward political and social issues; and, most importantly, display a strong interest and some experience in applying personal knowledge toward solving societal problems.
