DARPA Unveils New Program to Recruit Early Career Scientists, Engineers

DARPA  August 31, 2020
A new DARPA effort aims to recruit standout scientists and engineers beginning their careers for a two-year position at the agency. The DARPA Innovation Fellowship Program will select fellows to push the limits of existing technology through rapid exploration and analysis of a high volume of promising new ideas. The Projects will focus on answering high-risk/high-reward ‘what if?’ questions and assessing the impact of further investment on problems of importance to the Department of Defense. The fellowships are a great way for the nation’s future scientific thought leaders to have the opportunity to make extensive connections across an extraordinarily rich, technologically focused network that includes DARPA program managers and the DARPA performer community. Fellows will work with DARPA program managers as well as the university, industry, and non-profit performers who work on DARPA-funded research. Recent Ph.D. graduates (within five years of receiving a doctorate) and active-duty military with STEM degrees may apply to become a DARPA Innovation Fellow, More information is available at DARPA Innovation Fellowship ……read more.
