The Catherine Hinman Memorial Graduate Public Policy Fellowship

3 days ago

Washington, United States Silverado Policy Accelerator Full time

Job Description

The Catherine Hinman Memorial Fellowship creates opportunities for graduate students from across the country pursuing public policy careers, with background studies in economics, applied sciences, international affairs, or related majors, to gain practical experience and grow professional networks in Washington DC. The Fellowship aims to expand the applicant pool to include students who would not otherwise have the opportunity or the financial means to live and work in Washington DC for the summer. A big goal is to showcase technical skills, immerse into federal policy-making and international affairs, and sow seeds of professional growth for years to come.  


Back for its third year, the Fellowship will be hosted by the Silverado Policy Accelerator, a think tank focused on American prosperity and global competitiveness through investment in bipartisan economic, strategic, and technological policy solutions. Silverado’s policy areas of focus include trade, industrial security, and climate/ecological/economic security. Please note: Some Fellows may receive offers for summer placements at other policy organizations based in Washington, D.C., as well as U.S. government offices or legislative offices that share similar policy focuses. 


Fellows will be introduced to diverse career pathways, including through networking with DC-based professionals from across the U.S. Government, non-profit organizations, business, and academia. At Silverado, Fellows will also work on quick-turn research and writing assignments, contributing directly to advancing Silverado's mission and the Fellows' career aspirations.
