[Jobs] 2015 ASA/NSF/BLS Fellowship Program

[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,
mathematics, economics, survey methodology, behavioral science, and other
related fields. 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 February 16, 2015.



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 U.S. Citizens, but they must be employed by a
U.S. institution of higher learning or a non-profit institution (IRS code
501(c)(3) entity) and are expected to retain their position for the
duration of the fellowship. U.S. 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 Jeffrey Gonzalez (Gonzalez.Jeffrey at bls.gov) if you have any
questions.
