[Jobs] ASA/NSF/BLS Fellowship announcement

[Leora Lawton]

************************

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 our 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 at bls.gov) if you have any questions.
