The Commonwealth of Virginia Engineering and Science (COVES) Fellowship is a full-time 12-week fellowship program of the Virginia Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine (VASEM). Graduate students 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. Application deadline in December (varies by university).
