Fellowships

The Science, Technology, and Public Policy (STPP) program at the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy is a unique research, education, and policy engagement center concerned with cutting-edge questions at the intersection of science, technology, policy, and society. 

The University of Michigan, along with nonpartisan Legislative Service Bureau (LSB), Michigan State University, and six other public PhD-granting institutions in the state, will offer a new two-year Michigan Science, Technology, and Public Policy (MiST) fellowship for post-graduate scientists, engineers, and technologists to work in the LSB in Lansing and state agencies to be determined. 

Over the years, STPP has hosted several postdoctoral fellows and visiting scholars working on a variety of topics including incorporating ethics and justice considerations in undergraduate engineering education, patient advocacy in healthcare, and STEM in society training across the United States. We are in the process of reviewing and updating our approach to visiting scholars. Current U-M postdocs interested in connecting their research to policy are invited to reach out to learn more about informal opportunities to work with us.
