<p><b>Message: </b> I am pleased to share a new fellowship
opportunity and hope you will help to encourage the best and
brightest young minds to apply. The James Smithson
Fellowship Program is the Smithsonian’s first to combine the
best of the Institution’s vast scholarship and collections
and its unparalleled access to the nation’s capital in one
yearlong learning experience. The program has been started
with an initial endowment by Paul Neely, immediate past
chair of the Smithsonian National Board, and will start with
two fellows per year with plans to increase that number in
subsequent years. This fellowship opportunity combines
scholarship with policy applications. It is a program that
will draw upon the Smithsonian’s vast resources as well as
its organized networks in Washington and beyond. The James
Smithson Fellowship Program is open to post-doctoral
students in the fields of science, the humanities and the
arts. Fellows will work in one of the subject areas defined
by the Smithsonian strategic plan’s four grand challenges:
Understanding the American Experience, Valuing World
Cultures, Understanding and Sustaining a Biodiverse Planet,
and Unlocking the Mysteries of the Universe. Specific
fellowships will be tailored to each individual’s interests,
field and talents. Policy-focused activities will take them
beyond their scholarly research to work with other federal,
national and international agencies and organizations.
Information is available online at:
<a href="http://www.si.edu/ofi/jamessmithson">http://www.si.edu/ofi/jamessmithson</a>.
Applications will be accepted through January 15, 2013.
