Dear graduate coordinators and advisors:



Please consider sharing the following job announcement with interested
students or recent graduates. This job was recently posted on the ASA Job
Bank, but I’ve also emailed this announcement directly to a number of
departments and centers in order to reach as wide an audience as possible
before the June 21 deadline.



I’m happy to follow up with any questions by personal email or the unit
email (below).



Thanks for the consideration—

Sincerely,

Ethan Sharygin

We're looking for researchers to join our team of applied demographers with
the State of California Department of Finance.



If you're interested in population growth, poverty, birth trends, aging,
crunching data, and building visualizations to investigate and communicate
your insights on these subjects, then I'd encourage you to consider sending
in an application. We’re aiming to recruit someone with postgraduate
experience, such as a recently completed PhD or MA with a few years of
relevant work. More important than your credentials is your drive to
produce excellent social science. The ideal candidate will have strong
familiarity with statistical software and interest in working on population
estimates and projections.



Our work frequently branches across agencies to inform budget and policy
decisions. There's a lot of room to be creative here and rewards for taking
initiative. We have great datasets and a lot less red tape than you'd
expect. We are eager to bring in people with new ideas and to rethink the
way that we present our results in print and online.



We’re an hour from the SF Bay, 90 minutes from wine country, and two hours
from the Sierras. Rents are reasonable in the Sacramento area and there's a
lot to do in the city and environs. This is a full time job with excellent
work/life balance: use it as a springboard while building your skills, or
stay and make a career.



Interested? The application is online at http://www.dof.ca.gov/About_
Us/Careers/Career_Opportunities/ (look for “Research Specialist II”).
Further details about eligibility and the application process are available
there. The recruitment is open until June 21. We’re happy to address any
questions about the jobs by email at ficalpop at dof.ca.gov.





Sincerely,



Ethan Sharygin
