Start your application today. CCST is seeking PhD scientists and engineers for a year of public service and government leadership training in the California State Legislature and California state agencies.  Applications are Due March 1st.

The California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) is recruiting and accepting applications for the 2022 Class of CCST Science & Technology Policy Fellows.

Completed applications are due by 11:59 pm PST on March 1st, 2021.

The CCST Science & Technology Policy Fellows program is open to those holding a PhD or equivalent degree in science, engineering, or social science fields such as economics, sociology, or psychology. Eligibility information, program timeline, and the application link can be found at ccst.us/ccst-science-fellows-program.

As CCST Science Fellows, scientists and engineers spend one year in Sacramento serving in the California State Legislature or within a California state agency. Working as staff in the State Assembly, State Senate, or in a state agency they get a front-row seat learning about the craft and process of decision making in the State of California — a dynamic arena that often sets policy trends for the United States and the world.
