Are you a scientist in an ASEAN country? Are you interested in applying your skills beyond the lab or the classroom?  Apply now for the second year of the ASEAN-US Science and Technology Fellows Program for an opportunity to join a team of science leaders exploring opportunities to address key areas of concern to Asia’s citizens through science and policy.

This programme, supported by the US government, helps early career scientists from ASEAN Member States be more engaged in policies that drive national priorities and affect the lives of citizens in ASEAN.

Up to 16 fellows will be chosen from across the region to be embedded in a government ministry in their home country to advance science-based decision-making related to biodiversity, clean energy, or fisheries and coastal management.

The deadline for submission of applications is extended to 30 January, 2015. The programme will begin on May 1, 2015.
