<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Postdoctoral Scholars,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are interested in a position at <a href="https://www.darpa.mil/">
DARPA</a>, there is a new program for early career scientists and engineers, the DARPA Innovation Fellowship. Postdocs with US citizenship who are within five years of receiving their PhD are eligible to apply. More information:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:#1C1C1C">Fellows will push the limits of existing technology through the rapid exploration of a high volume of promising new ideas focused on answering high risk/high
reward “what if?” questions and assessing the impact of further investment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:#1C1C1C">Fellows will also have the opportunity to work with DARPA program managers as well as the university, industry, and non-profit performers who work on DARPA-funded research. Being a DARPA Innovation
Fellow is a great way to begin a career in the sciences. DARPA Innovation Fellows will have the opportunity to make extensive connections across an extraordinarily rich, technologically-focused network. The fellowship is an in-person salaried position at DARPA
in Arlington, Virginia. Fellows will be part of the <a href="https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/offices/dso"><span style="color:#3968BC;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">Defense Sciences Office</span></a>; however, the fellows will work across disciplines
represented in all DARPA technical offices. More information on the office focus areas can be found at <a href="https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/offices"><span style="color:#3968BC;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">DARPA Offices</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
