WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A USGS MENDENHALL FELLOW?
Mendenhall Fellows work directly with their Research Advisors. The Research Advisors are scientists who are usually permanent staff at various USGS science centers. The Mendenhall Fellow is an active member of the group to which she/he is assigned to and participates fully in group meetings and other activities. Fellows will have an opportunity to interact with a large number of professional scientists who span a wide range of disciplines and subdisciplines. The USGS is a ~9000 strong organization with a presence in all 50 States and abroad. There are approximately 1500 research scientists at the USGS.
