Graduate student and postdoctoral fellows will serve as science advisors in a variety of possible placements, including legislative offices, executive agencies, or prominent companies and nonprofits in the state of Virginia. Fellows will gain experience by serving their host office and performing relevant tasks such as researching, drafting, and revising relevant policies. Fellows will also be paired with a VASEM member who will serve as an experienced science policy mentor throughout the fellowship. COVES Fellows must be current postdoctoral fellows or graduate students in a STEM field (including M.S., Ph.D., M.D., M.S.N., other degrees will be considered on a case-by-case basis). Participating institutions and individual host offices may limit the eligibility of the fellows they fund or host.
