Are you interested in expanding your
research to new and interesting domains? Are you doing research that could
benefit the Bureau of Labor Statistics? If so, consider applying for the Senior
Research Fellow Program!
The program's main objective is to
facilitate collaboration between academic scholars and government researchers in
fields such as statistics, economics, survey methodology, and social science.
Research Fellows have unique opportunities to expand their work to address some
of the difficult methodological problems and analytic challenges BLS faces.
Fellows are funded to conduct research at the BLS headquarters in Washington, DC, use BLS data and facilities, and work
closely with BLS staff.
There is more information available
on our website at http://www.bls.gov/osmr/asa_nsf_bls_fellowship_info.htm or in
our brochure at http://www.amstat.org/careers/pdfs/ASANSFBLSFellowshipProgram.pdf.
Proposals are due March 2,
2014.
Fellowship applicants should have a
recognized research record and considerable expertise in their area of proposed
research. Applicants must submit a detailed research proposal, which will be
evaluated on the applicability of the research to BLS programs, the value of the
proposed research to science, and the quality of the applicant's research
record. Applicants do not need to be US Citizens, but they must be affiliated
with a US institution (such as a
university). US Government employees are not
eligible.
We encourage interested researchers
to contact us before submitting a proposal, so we can provide assistance in
tailoring the proposed topic to best utilize your skills and interests in
addressing BLS issues.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
coordinates our Senior Research Fellow Program in cooperation with the American
Statistical Association (http://www.amstat.org/) (ASA),
under a grant from the National Science Foundation (http://www.nsf.gov/)
(NSF).
Please contact Jean Fox (Fox.jean@bls.gov) if you have any
questions.
