Taguig City – The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) officially launched its S&T Fellows Program on 23 November by welcoming the 1st batch of S&T Fellows.
The five-year project under the Office of the Undersecretary for Research and Development (OUSecRD) engages highly qualified and skilled researchers, scientists, and engineers to boost the R&D capacity of the DOST. “This is our long-term solution to guarantee that we have a stable workforce in our Department, and we are glad that the first batch of fellows took the challenge and are now stationed at different DOST R&D institutes and sectoral planning councils,” said Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña.
The S&T Fellows Program aims to increase and strengthen the human resource complement of the Department’s R&D Group. The S&T Fellows are expected to participate in the conceptualization, policy and funding development, and monitoring and evaluation of various R&D programs and projects.
“We encourage our brilliant, diligent, and passionate S&T experts to join us and become S&T Fellows and help make real change happen in the country,” said Undersecretary Rowena Cristina L. Guevara. She added, “We ensure competitive compensation for our S&T Fellows, and we hope that they find R&D at DOST to be challenging and fulfilling, and to stay and work in the country.”
For its first year of implementation, the project is looking for 68 S&T Fellows. For inquiries, you may contact the DOST-OUSECRD Office through email at ousec.rd@dost.gov.ph or dostfellows@gmail.com.
